Well that sucks, I was hoping to enjoy my night on wow...But apparently that is either not happening or will have to be severely delayed. Thanks script kiddies.
Some of these botnets are millions of computers. That's gonna take time, no matter how aggressive they are - and all it takes is a couple of ISPs in countries where they don't care, and we're back right here, complaining.
The internet needs to evolve, but it's such a huge, massive earth-changing thing, it's gonna take a while to design and build and implement, to wipe out this kind of thing.
The edgy ddos kids parents must of stepped out of the house and they wanted some attention.

You guys don't understand how it works....the DDOS attacks aren't going after an entire internet provider. They are going after the hardware that provides service for blizzard. All of that hardware is owned by an ISP. Thus an attack against an ISP. It won't affect all their customers, only the ones being routed through that hardware.
Quite often, the difference between an idiot and a genius is simply a matter of success rate.
It is amazing how many people is about to kill the last boss of anywhere or just about to loot a legendary when the servers go down.
Nope. These things are able to be monitored by 3rd-parties. Such as: http://hp.ipviking.com/
Plus, they are a public company; they have to answer to their shareholders if they are found to be lying.
I am the one who knocks ... because I need your permission to enter.
No. Son. You don't get it.
More servers == LOTS of effort.
DDOS == Almost no effort whatsoever.
It's like trying to dam the Mississippi with toilet paper. The river is just gonna keep on going, not giving a shit. Farming out a botnet is super super super super easy, stopping it is nigh impossible.
