Some DayZ servers are down due to a cyberattack

The zombie apocalypse is suffering from some connection problems.

Developer Bohemian Interactive has confirmed that its online undead survival hit, DayZ, is under assault from a cyberattack. The studio has taken its public character servers offline to deal with the barrage, which has apparently slammed the game for more than 24 hours. This means that if you do join a public game, DayZ won’t load up your previously saved character. Instead, you’ll get a fresh respawn with no weapons or items. This poses a danger because if the DayZ hive, which saves the character data, comes back online while you are playing with a new character, it could overwrite your data.
