No one cares about the DDoS attack. We do care about punishing exploiters.
Stop diversioning.

I approve of this state of affairs. What a little stupid piece of garbage.

These script kiddies are absolutely ridiculous. So he could find a DDOS service, but he didn’t know that Skype is surveiled by Microsoft and leaks your IP to anyone who tries to get in touch with you - so he sits there with a Skype account while DDOS’ing without a VPN.

DOUBLE UP!!

Thank you Blizzard for tracking him down. :slight_smile:

Also wanted to add the guy that did it was a douchebag because he decided to ddos them right as I wanted to play wow at my friends house when I was on vacation couldn’t play my account cause of him.Also was promoting my best friend the game then wanted him to play with me.

Edit:sorry for the earlier typo my phone’s autocorrect is insane have to turn it off.

An ETA for the DDOS attack is unfortionately whenever the script kiddies get bored of DDOSing or when all the individual IPs in the botnets are blockdd

Unfortionately because their service has to be publically available in order for everyone to make use of it this means it can also be targetted publically, forcing everyone to connect through VPN is also not a realistic option

The people doing it are pretending like its a big thing but in reality, as long as you have the resources then servers (and all other public online services) are baseline easy targets
