World Of Warcraft, Hearthstone Hit By DDoS Attacks And ISP Issues

• 2014-04-03 09:52:47

Blizzard's games are encountering problems throughout North America and Europe. These issues are preventing players from logging into the game altogether. 

Diablo, World of Warcraft, StarCraft and Hearthstone players may be impacted by high latency and disconnections during their gaming experience that are the result of a series of denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on certain European online services. Although Blizzard’s infrastructure is not targeted, the disruption effects rippled and have been felt by a portion of our players’ population.

The connections problems in North America apply to all games as well. However, the North America problems are limited to one ISP: Cox Communications.
