Shuhei Yoshida Twitter Hacked by Same Team who Took Down Pokemon Go Servers - AlphaOmegaSin
UPDATE ONE: Pokemon Go servers appear to be struggling again, with users in the US and UK reporting further issues playing the new AR mobile title.
Developers Niantic have yet to reveal why the game has seen long outages this week, following Saturday and Sundays drop in coverage.
The latest update from the support team reads: "The issue causing the server problems earlier today have been identified.
"Trainers should once again be able to search for and train Pokmon in the real world. Thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve things."
However, trainers are seeing the same old error message popping up while trying tolog in this evening.
"I want my stuff back in southern Michigan!" one fan wrote.
"Figures I used my incense and your stuff goes down. Not to mention the freaking heat I just walked around in for an hour! Ugh so frustrated!"
Fans in the UK and US are reporting that Pokemon Go is down again, following a weekend outage that hit players worldwide.
Trainers are being hit by the same error message they found during previous server problems, leaving them unable to go out and catch Pokemon.
While several hacker groups have claimed responsibility for the weekend problems, tonight"s issues may be connected to Pokemon Go"s impending release in Japan.
One user complained: "Getting fed up with a huge company like Nintendo not being able to sort their server issues, now been going on for over a week.
"Just not acceptable. Been intermittently down in Suffolk UK all evening - very frustrating when someone stood next to you is logged on and your being told there are server issues!
"Nintendo have a very large investment in said company, and this game was hyped up big time over the last couple of weeks or so - they should have been prepared, it"s just not good enough."
Fans first started reporting issues at around 8pm in the UK, it is still unclear when the game will become accessible again.
Hacker group PoodleCorp claimed responsibility for this weekend"s attacks, and are said to be planning another one for August 1.
PoodleCorp would elaborate on its plans in an interview with YouTube channel DramaAlert.
A representative for the group said: "We"ll be taking down Pokemon Go, all of the servers for Pokemon Go, all day long, for 24 hours on August 1."
It appears as though the group will perform a DDOS attack, which is when the servers are overloaded with requests.
The weekend server crash came just hours after Niantic revealed that Pokemon Go had been expanded to 26 more countries.
Yrainers living in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Canada and Switzerland were able to download Pokemon Go from the Play Store or App Store.
The share price of Nintendo has soared an incredible 50 per cent since the launch of Pokemon Go to a staggering 25.7 billion.
