Confirmed: Internet disruption registered on #Andorra Telecom (AS6752) on Saturday evening; the incident is attributed by the state telco to a DDoS attack targeting the high-stakes #SquidCraftGames Minecraft Twitch competition, resulting in the elimination of Team Andorra pic.twitter.com/RCsJu2DYpH

Sources who have followed the incident have told The Record that some of the attacks went as high as 100 Gbps during short bursts.
The attack has been linked to the known servers of a DDoS-for-hire service, suggesting that an entity without access to a DDoS botnet had bought access to such firepower for a short period to launch the attacks, specifically during the event.
Unfortunately, because of Andorra’s small population and isolated geographical location, hitting its only ISP also crippled the connections of thousands of home consumers, local businesses, and government agencies at the same time.
But despite the connectivity glitches for Andorran players, Squidcraft Games became the most-watched event in the history of the Twitch Rivals series, drawing millions of viewers throughout the five-day event.
