a forum i visit is ddosed pretty much weekly and they manage to keep it up for the most part.
Have you ever visited a website but you don’t get access to the website right away? Instead you are greeted with a Cloudflare message saying that they are authenticating you before they allow you to access the website?
That’s their DDOS protection. The website’s actual IP address is hidden and the website has been cloned by Cloudflare. And if Cloudflare thinks your PC is part of a DDOS Botnet network, then I guess they block you from accessing the website.
Blizzard game servers are not a website, and they just cannot be cloned and hidden behind another IP address like Cloudflare.
They don’t have a cloudflare popup, it’s just a message from the forum saying they’re under ddos again.
it still could be another service like Cloudflare.
And protecting a website from a DDOS attack isn’t the same as protecting a online game’s login servers or actual gaming servers from a DDOS attack.
I mean it’s a Sunday morning and the biggest WoW streamers are barely awake yet and there’s a big League of Legends tournament happening.
Classic is still providing a massive boost for World of Warcraft that will probably be around for a while, considering unlike a new expansion where you set yourself up for disappointment, people have been playing Classic on private servers and/or know exactly what it offers
what they gonna do play the game? lol
Find the person responsible and decapitate him/her/?gender
Please learn what a DDOS attack is.
My god the fake news and people spewing stuff in here thinking they know something is comical.
To sum it up for the simpletons, you can’t block a botnet. Most of the nodes in a botnet are everyday people, none of whom even know they are infected. You’re probably one yourself and don’t even know it.
I’d be willing to be a lot of the nodes used yesterday were warcraft players themselves. It’s gaming sites where these people easily inject the malware and trojans used to hijack someone’s computer. Kids that install mod tools and other stuff not knowing a thing about what they are doing.
And also, whitelisting IP addresses is a very expensive operation for a router to do, it’s a layer 4 activity… and smaller companies don’t have the money to scale 150k edge routers in all their data centers.
all of the attacks are originating from computers outside of north america.

I’m, just curious how you have access to information people outside of Blizzard internal security team don’t even have? Even other blizzard employees .
Care to link your source?
I agree with this guy. They shouldnt even be on these servers in not in this country. Build a virtual wall.
