DDOS attacks are a fact of life these days, it would seem. People were having trouble logging into Blizzard games such as Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft last night, as a result of a DDOS attack on the company’s servers that notorious DDoS group Lizard Squad has taken credit for. The company says that the problem has since been resolved. I have no clue, but if I had to venture out on a limb I’d say this is in some very roundabout way related to the recent closure of one of World of Wacraft’s most popular private servers. Not that anyone involved did it, but that World of Warcraft was in the news for reasons that some could take offense to, and someone decided that this was the best course of action.
