Ok so like two days in a row there is someone DDOSing Blizzard WoW classic servers.

How can someone does this to such a big company? They have so many resources. And how hard is it to track the person who does this? I rly dont understand why would anyone do this in a first place, will the person go to jail for this or is it “untrackable”?

A couple of decades ago the infected machines would basically connect a client to IRC, and the attack would be directed by commands in an IRC channel. The coordinator would connect to IRC via a proxy/vpn to issue the command. Even years ago it would be difficult to track the person doing the attack, and now we have TOR…

If someone is caught it’ll probably be because they boasted about it on a forum somewhere, with a login name they used for something else that is then linked.
