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
Tracking the person can be fairly difficult depending on how the attack is carried out.
Botnets for example are hard to find what the originating IP is since the DDOS attack is coming from 100 different “people” all taking commands from somewhere else.
In todays case – the DDOS attacks on Blizzard were done by someone waving their new toy around using a 5+ year old twitter account (that has since been suspended.) – A seemingly rookie mistake
If Blizzard had the police involved, Twitter will have the IP’s of every login connection made on that account in those 5+ years, some of which I can almost guarentee will be from the attackers home address, then all Twitter has to do is give the police this data, who’ll then talk with ISP’s to find out who had the certain IP’s at the given time and boom, jail time.
