Blizzard is once again DDoS attacked which is currently affecting all of its game servers and as a result, no one is able to play any of their games let alone Overwatch. This time around, the DDoS attack started off with creating login issues for Blizzard players. This is something that happens whenever more IP addresses try to login to the server. As a result, server starts taking the load and randomly starts disconnecting users from the server.

As if there are still little script kiddies DDoSing thinking they are looking good, at this point its more just annoying then anything else.

They might have something like DDoS protection so that they overcome with it

Skids don't have the knowledge or power to just take down an organisation like Blizzards gaming services across multiple games just like that, millions would have been spent to -prevent this exact thing.

They do if there are a tonne of them, thats usually how they do it. Its just a bunch of idiots overloading the servers and they bring them down, but yeah millions likely will have been spent but the DDoS protection has to discern which connections are legit and which are fake and when it comes to a log in server like this reportedly started with that becomes very difficult.

Hopefully it gets resolved fast, has anyone taken credit for it yet??
