Blizzard Report DDOS Attack On Network - briefly
(hx) 07:17 PM CEST - Jul,10 2018 - Post a comment
At 5:30 am this morning, Blizzard reported that many network providers were currently suffering due to a DDOS attack. As such, they wanted to make fans aware that any lag/latency issues were not necessarily the fault of them. We should again make it clear that Blizzard reported that this was being monitored. It is not thought that the attack was on Blizzard themselves. It is more likely that Blizzard was a casualty of another intended target. It seems that Blizzard was monitoring the attack quite thorough and within an hour of the initial report Blizzard was back on Twitter. This time to confirm that it had indeed been a DDOS attack against network providers. The good news was that the attack had either ended or been fixed so no further disruption was likely. Blizzard has not named who these ‘network providers’ were and as such, beyond their own monitoring, it’s hard to say who would have been affected.
