Guess blizzard has its own share of problems :) Seems it's for the US Servers though.

I guess you can never stop a truly motivated hacker, but surely they understand how annoying they are being.

I was very surprised when I saw this last night and how long before EU battle.net gets attacked I wonder (if its not already the US took 5 days to tell people).
