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”?
In: Technology
Distributed denial of service, essentially someone (attacker) rents some time with a botnet (a network of computers with viruses on them, each of these installations of the virus takes control of the computer and connects to what ever it is attacking. This overloads the server so no one can use it. If you could figure out which botnet was used AND who rented it, sure. But botnets are almost never run from the the wealthier nations, so that’s difficult. It’s not impossible but it is next to impossible.
(Edit: also a hacker isnt going to say to whoever he/she is renting the botnet from hey my name is Alice Sophie Jackson, can I rent your botnet? They will use usernames at most.
