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”?

Basically DDOS is when a lot of computers try and connect to the server at the same time to overwhelm it.

The reason why people can DDOS multibillion dollar companies is because

1. They have a lot of computers under their disposal (i.e their botnet is very big)
2. There is some weakness in the server it self.

Most of the case, it is a combination of these two.

As for tracking, yes it is absolutely possible to track down who initiated the DDOS, though it does take some work.
