World of Warcraft Authentication Servers Slowdown Caused by Unknown Factor


If you play World of Warcraft in January 2, you’ve likely you've likely run into a Battle.net login queue that's a lot longer than you're used to. Blizzard says it's aware that something is amiss, and is now investigating the cause of the trouble. Well, for those who didn’t be influenced by the long queue wait, cheap WoW gold sale at this site cannot be missed!

Several posters suggested the problem bears the hallmarks of a DDoS attack, and while Blizzard hasn't acknowledged that this is the case, the "maintenance alert" message on Battle.net suggests that something untoward is happening.
"We’re aware of an issue that is affecting our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow login attempts," it says. "We’re currently investigating the cause and will provide updates as they’re available."
One possible scenario is that this is another attack by "Lizard Squad," the group that brought so much grief to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network users over the holidays. It carried out a prior DDoS attack against Battle.net and other services in August 2014, when it also (and more famously) used a fake bomb threat to divert an American Airlines flight carrying Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley.
We will update here if there is more information from Blizzard! By the way, we strongly recommend you stay close here if you want to either get the latest information or buy WoW gold!
