CP Rewritten is Under a DDOS Attack
Seems to be a problem with the upstream provider of the host. We should be fully back online by tomorrow.

For those wondering about why Club Penguin Rewritten may be down, the game is under an illegal attack as confirmed by their official Twitter account. This means that you are unable to log-in until the attack is over.
We're investigating connectivity issues. Looks like our servers are a target of distributed denial of service.

All I ask is you guys wait for us to bring it back up, and work on it, and to not create false rumours like Disney is doing this, etc.

Update: Codey has stated that Club Pingu is “most likely” the culprit
This is why Club Penguin Rewritten is down however the “Status” page is not working either, claiming that all servers are operational. There isn’t a virus, so don’t worry about that!
Update: CP Rewritten is in contact with their server provider
We're currently working with our server provider on mitigating the attack. Thanks for the continued patience.

However, I will try to keep you informed on the situation of this breaking news, but you don’t need to worry about your account or details like that!
Waddle on!

When CP got their DDoS attack, I was not playing, I could have been innocent banned! Or you! Or poor fellow Penguins! I played from August 2014 to like December 2015 and June 2016 (when I first met clones) until the destruction of March 2017

I was playing during the time of the DDoS and don’t worry, nobody got falsely banned! 🙂

Some did.

Really? It wouldn’t have been because of the ddos. Ddos attacks can’t do that.

No i mean, some innocent Penguins were accused of the DDoS, leading to some falsely banned

The team already know who the hackers likely are. Codey believes they’re from another CPPS.
Yehaw
no from the original CP
