My uncle works as one of those guys who goes into companies and checks their back doors; even he agrees that this guy is a dumbass and should have went to blizz w a resume and the information and made HUGE BANK but instead hes gonna get jail time for a few Twitter follows and some clout.
Itâd be nice if people actually read up on what a DDoS attack is. Yes, itâs generic. Yes, itâs been around forever. But there is very little you can do to defend against one. All you can do is react AFTER the fact. And for the record, Google and all those big time market cap companies DO go down due to DDoS attacks. Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook have all been taken down for an entire day due to DDoS attacks. Slow your roll, people. These are regular people working on a weekend, just like you. Donât take it out on them, take it out on the moron doing the attack.

DudeâŚit is a DDOS attackâŚsome guy on Twitter is bragging about it as we speak.
lol i bet he was doing same quest as me, i went from lv9 to lv11 trying to get alpha tooths from wolfs⌠still on the quest⌠need 2 more. Then ragequit and started causing this ddos - LOLS
Dude, if you turn off the coffee machine, they wonât have the fuel to fix the actual problem.
Being worked on.
KInd of a crap response when your entire player-base is not able to play
Itâs a deliberate DDOS attack thatâs being bragged about on twitter. Yes, DDOS attacks fall under the definition of virtual terrorism. The login issues have literally nothing to do with their actual customers trying to log in. Fix your caps lock and have a seat.

Please use a proper DDoS solution, ideally from one of your CDN vendors, this is a damn joke being a company your size.

Same, and itâs equally annoying when the not so bright post their identities in the forums giving them more attention.
Agreed with your last statement. Blizz is probably frantically trying to switch the servers to their backup internet server and if thats being DDoSâd as well then there isnt much they can do until they counter-hack and shut down the guys connection

he/she they need to go on tour. A tour to every paying members house and each need give them a smackdown lasting as long as we are down.
-_- Yep. Same. And I gotta go go bed in likeâŚtwo hours, so I can be up and ready to head to work at 2:30am.
Is there any time guesstimate on how long the servers will be down based on past issues/will there be a tweet once everythingâs running again?
Thatâs literally what it is. Virtual. Terrorism. Heâs terrorizing virtual services. Are you dumb?

Truth , not information what so ever .
At least itâs an acknowledgement they are aware of the issue. Which is more than we had before.
What were you expecting, a detailed, step-by-step plan of how they are going to address the issue? The only way that could be more asinine would be to call the DDOSer directly and tell them how to stay one step ahead of them.
Interesting⌠now we are getting Server shutdown notices too 
right? we are working on it. We are going to wait until he gets tired of this lame DDos attack, thank you for your patience. lolâŚ
Agreed. Youâre clearly not an expert.
