It's not known if any more bombardments are planned, but this probably isn't the last we've seen of the group. The hacks are reminiscent of Lizard Squad, a hacking group that previously attacked Sony, Microsoft, Valve and others using the same method, most famously on Christmas Day in 2014, disrupting online games and forcing millions to spend time with their families. Likewise, the Battlefield 1 servers look a lot healthier today. Those issues have since been resolved, say Blizzard. The group has also been attacking the Blizzard servers, bringing lag and disconnections to players of Overwatch and World of Warcraft - all on the same day the MMO’s sixth expansion, Legion, was launched. Meanwhile, the hacking group PoodleCorp claimed they were responsible. EA didn't acknowledge an attack but did admit that they were having problems. We had the same problem when we tried last night, getting in just two matches amid a flurry of error messages and disconnections. The Battlefield 1 beta launched yesterday but within hours players were unable to join servers or find a game through matchmaking. It is as if a dozen gaming forums losing millions of passwords recently in a separate hack was not bad enough. And if you hopped off to play some Overwatch or WoW instead, you might have encountered an identical problem, because the same group has been attacking Blizzard’s servers as well. The beta of Battlefield 1 was shut down on its first day by a group pummeling EA’s servers with a denial of service attack.
