The Activision Blizzard servers are suffering from a reported DDoS attack.

[{"selector":"#anim-c79fa632-c915-420a-bf72-9964c5fb4c20","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf5d9cf9-a46e-4518-bb19-23bc212ca6a5","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-360deg) translate3d(-116.07717%, 0px, 0) rotate(360deg)","rotate(-360deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(360deg)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This attack caused issues right at the start of the Call of Duty Double XP holiday weekend.

[{"selector":"#anim-7aafa524-c3cf-41e1-8ac3-097bf861d3e1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c189834f-706c-4bd1-ad3f-c1d1e35f1a7e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Blizzard Customer Support broke this news from their official Twitter account.

[{"selector":"#anim-380e489d-ded6-40d1-8d0c-70ee04db0509","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24cb1fd9-864a-4e09-bd8f-3d2d0bc8d674","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.70492%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They ask the players to be aware of the DDoS attack.

[{"selector":"#anim-a15d8bcf-e8b6-445c-b95f-f0984fed3ca9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2d895dd0-02b1-42d6-853a-d0688f467746","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.54967%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This attack also affected other properties of Activision Blizzard.

[{"selector":"#anim-61755b68-af5b-4711-9aa3-f6f425377032","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-518d8a6c-4b85-483f-86d3-9cda7cfac3bd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.89042%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The fans are hoping that Battle.net servers will be back to normal very soon.

[{"selector":"#anim-9a750997-02d0-4b24-90d5-4f4f57b8683f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6df5279-62d0-49a9-b754-c7d72e190b6e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.89042%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Another tweet by Blizzard Customer Service shared a troubleshooting link for the players.

None of the hacking groups have taken responsibility for the attack yet.
