Steam under DDoS attack

I'm getting

Error Code - 118
Unable to connect to server. Server maybe offline or you may not be connected to the internet.
 
so if that's the case whats the issue?

also if it mean overnight in usa, it'll mean morning here.

I didn't have an issue but like I said to you in the 1st reply it clearly didn't affect everyone.

I'm sure Valve would have acknowledged their servers being taken down just like EA did.
 
then why are a lot of people having issues even now?

Are you even reading what I'm typing? I know there's an issue what I'm saying is it isn't affecting everyone therefore the servers can't of been taken down, if the servers were down nobody would be able to log on to steam.

User LARCENY_ also posted a picture of the DDoS tool the pair were using to disrupt Steam.

I am reading what your typing. but i'm saying valve maybe have afew servers for login/etc, afew servers for the store/website, etc. and maybe one or more login server is down hence why a lot of people can't login because the other server/s are at max

I don't know if it's like that, but it's just a thought

Would explain it. I had some Steam money gifted to me at Christmas and I was hoping to use a bit of it to buy some Dota items. But nothing was loading for me... I then went to Reddit to see if they could confirm the server issues, and that website wasn't loading! All in all, a very frustrating experience! haha

I understand that and that could be the reason it isn't affecting everyone, but I doubt they are still being ddos'd now, that DerpTrolling group moved onto EA servers in the early hours of this morning.
