Battle.net recovers from DDoS attacks after more than an hour
Activision Blizzard said on Twitter Wednesday that its Battle.net service was suffering from a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. A little over an hour later, reported that the attacks it was monitoring have ended.
In the initial tweet, sent at 7:11PM ET from the @BlizzardCS Twitter account, the company cautioned that the attack “may result in high latency and disconnections for some players.” That first tweet mentioned a singular attack, but a second one reporting that things had ended, sent at 8:29PM ET, referenced attacks — plural.
[#BNet] We are currently experiencing a DDoS attack, which may result in high latency and disconnections for some players. We are actively working to mitigate this issue.
