Now, Blizzard’s game client Battle.net is under heavy attack. These cyber attacks are said to be of the DDoS type. One of the most popular techniques in the game world, DDoS has the potential to completely crash servers. Such attacks often cut off access completely.
Of course, the increase in the number of such cyber attacks against gaming platforms is not a spontaneous situation. As you know, one of the fastest growing industries in the world is undoubtedly the gaming industry. Huge companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are trying to get as much of the gaming pie as possible.
This is why one of the target points of hackers is the gaming industry. With the Blizzard attack, hackers tried to steal users’ data. However, the company did not allow this. Many games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty: Warzone could not be accessed. Attacks on game platforms can lock all games.
Hackers chasing user data sometimes succeed, as with the Twitch site. However, they are often faced with the firewall of companies.
