Hello,

is it difficult for Blizzard to prevent DDOS attacks?

I don’t understand them.

I thought that was only a thing in like early 2010’s with IP’s being commonly available through applications like Skype, etc??

It seems as though DDOS attacks, random massive Disconnects have been common since the RWF has been going on…

it’s easy for anybody with a bit of money to mitigate them. it is basically impossible for anybody to prevent them completely.

very. Impossible, Id guess. Being online has disadvantages. This is one of them. Someone is determined enough…childish enough…to try to disrupt stuff online, they’ll figure out a way sooner or later.
