With denial of service (DDOS) attacks being a criminal act in the US. After Blizzard servers were subject to the disruptive and potentially damaging action after the highly anticipated World of Warcraft: Classic launched late last month, the company quickly reported the issue to law enforcement.

 

"Immediately after the Distributed Denial of Service attacks against our game service began, the Blizzard Security Team worked around the clock with local and international law enforcement agencies to track down the source of the DDoS," the forum post by community manager Kaivax reads. "It is our understanding that, within a few days, authorities were able to successfully identify and arrest a suspect."

 

In an update to the original post on the official Blizzard forums that acknowledged the DDoS attacks, a community manager provided closure to the incident by claiming that the suspect behind it was identified and arrested within a few days. The Blizzard Security Team worked with both local and international law enforcement to track down the attacker, though it is unclear if the arrested suspect is also the one behind the UkDrillas account on Twitter.

 

The DDoS attacks caused numerous disruptions across both World of Warcraft's current retail version as well as World of Warcraft Classic over the weekend of September 7-8, two weeks after Classic's launch. Legal action against those responsible for DDoS attacks has become increasingly common in recent years. Some examples include a man responsible for a DDoS attack against Daybreak Games sentenced to two years in prison, and a Romanian man sentenced to US federal prison for a 2010 attack against Blizzard.
