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”?

It’s really hard to trace people who do this kind of stuff, but there’s always a way. Multiple people have been arrested and found guilty for this kind of crime before. Usually, because they make mistakes – they use the same email address in relation to another service online, where they can be traced to some information that links them to their real identity.

Or in many cases, this kind of activity is the prelude to (illegal) selling of their services. Attacking Blizzard and Twitch and Wikipedia is an advertisement, telling people they can do this and offering to sell their services to paying customers. This makes them easier to track and eventually take down.
