The authentication servers at Mojang are down for the moment, so you can’t login and play on any Minecraft server. Hope they will solve their problems soon.
A quote from Daniel Frisk’s Twitter, chief arhitect at Mojang:
There seems to be some kind of attack on our servers. DDoS is for losers who can’t hack properly.

Oh the irony… Should I feel humbled that we seem high profile enough that DDOS kiddies attacked us mere minutes before Mojang, or sad that said kiddies have no life?
is there another attack going on or something because i cant log in now
No, the server is fine and there are about 35 people online. I’ve checked and all connectivity is good server side.
What’s going on? I leave for a little to focus on school some more, and we get DDos’d twice, and Minecraft.net goes down? You guys must really miss me.
True, so true 😛
