The Proxy Attack

On December 31st, 2018, one person connected to Our World of Pixels with 100+ unique proxies. The spawn point had suffered the consequences, and an expanse of random pixels were being placed. Brought to attention by the users, the staff team put the server in a "lockdown", allowing only certain users with whitelisted IP addresses to be able to join the game. This eliminated the player count to around 5 users at the time, and after an hour or so the lockdown was lifted after the spawn had been cleaned.
