Blizzard’s customer support Twitter account said it is battling a DDoS attack and that players may experience high latency and disconnections because of it.
The account tweeted at 5:44pm CT it was “working to mitigate this issue.” No further updates have been given by Blizzard, signaling the issues are still ongoing.
In response to a Twitter user who feared the attack could infect their device, Blizzard assured the user that it would not affect their system and that a DDoS attack is “basically a clogged pipe on the internet.”
Blizzard faced a DDoS attack in mid-April when many players were attempting to sign on in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The developer was able to stamp out the attack time within 45 minutes. The developer has previously had trouble with World of Warcraft realm DDoS attacks as well.
