Cyberattackers spoil World of Warcraft: Legion launch with DDoS attack

World of Warcraft’s big day is coming under fire.
Blizzard has noted on Twitter and in its Battle.net client that it is suffering a denial-of-service (DDoS) attack which is causing high latency and disconnection in its games. This includes World of Warcraft, which just had its Legion expansion launch today. The attack was likely timed to coincide with that release.
We are currently monitoring a DDOS attack against network providers which is affecting latency/connections to our games.
