Earlier this month, World of Warcraft Classic servers were hit with a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack that made reliably accessing its servers a struggle for many players across North America. And now, a Blizzard community manager followed up to say that after a brief investigation a suspect has been arrested.

As spotted by Dexerto, WoW Community Manager Kaivax has posted an update on the original forum post with the news that “immediately after the Distributed Denial of Service attacks against our game service began, the Blizzard Security Team worked around the clock with local and international law enforcement agencies to track down the source of the DDoS.”

They added “it is our understanding that, within a few days, authorities were able to successfully identify and arrest a suspect. We really appreciate your patience and understanding.” Though there are no details beyond this, Blizzard has said that it “wanted to return to this subject and put some closure on it”, so it sounds like the issue is now resolved.

DDOSing is illegal in the US, the UK, and many other countries. Here in the US, it contravenes the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) while in the UK, it violates the Computer Misuse Act 1990. In both countries, DDOSing attracts heavy sentences.

It’s not the first time the gaming industry has been hit with DDOS attacks. Dota 2, League of Legends, and Battle.net are just some of the victims of these attacks. In July, a hacker from the infamous ‘DerpTrolling’ got 27 months in jail for the 2013 attacks on Daybreak Game Company, formerly, Sony Online Entertainment.
