Blizzard just tweeted: "We are currently monitoring a DDOS attack against network providers which is affecting latency/connections to our games."

Why does this often happen to a company who made 1.1 billion dollars last year?

Because they take your money and do slim to nothing with it.

I don't see how the revenu of a company (Which is different from net income) would make them less vulnerable to a ddos attack.
Do you even know how DDOS attacks work? Probably not. But there's next to no way to prevent these kinds of attacks from happening.

I was wondering why I was unable to connect to the Overwatch servers earlier this morning. I thought they were down for maintenance or something.

Good, all those games are trash anyways and if you play em you're trash.








I AM JUST KIDDING, CALM DOWN.


But seriously, the new Deus Ex game is out now. Go play that while you wait for the DDoS skids to kill themselves.
