UPDATE: As of June 25 at 1:18pm ET, Blizzard claims the DDoS attack has ended. Players should be able to log into Battle.net now. The original article remains below for posterity.
Blizzard’s Battle.net service is undergoing another DDoS attack (distributed denial of service), which is impacting players who are trying to log into games such as World of Warcraft, Diablo IV, and more. The attack began last night and as of this morning, is yet to be resolved.
Blizzard is aware of the issue and is looking into it.
[#Bnet] We continue to actively monitor an ongoing DDOS attack which is affecting latency/connections to our games.

“We continue to actively monitor an ongoing DDOS attack which is affecting latency/connections to our games,” Blizzard’s customer support Twitter account tweeted this morning.
Battle.net is a frequent target of denial of service attacks, which frustrates gamers. Hopefully Blizzard will be able to resolve the issue soon so players can get back to Azeroth, Sanctuary, or wherever they are trying to go today.
