WoW under DDOS attack right now

[ClassicPeon]

DDOS attacks most often are paired with cyber-security-attacks, eg. attempts to steal private data, or in worse scenarios attempts to install ransomware or such.

Thats really not the case.

DDOS attacks are far "easier" to execute then attempting to actually gain access to anything. You can buy ddos attacks from shady groups pretty cheap these days.

Stuff you need is:
1. Compute power.
2. Bandwidth.
3. Multitudes of hosts.
And quite possibly an amplification vector.

If you have the last one, it's gigagood. Some DNS attacks in the past were crazy in the amplification arena.
