World of Warcraft Classic was launched just a few days back on 26 August 2019. Since then, it has been a beloved game for many streamers and a popular gaming choice for gaming fans. It is also the most-watched gaming on Twitch in the past few weeks leaving behind the likes of Fortnite, or CS: GO, League of Legends, and other streamed games. Recently, WOW Classic even received free character transfers for selected realms. But currently, it doesn’t seem to be a good time for all the WOW Classic fans out there as a wave of DDoS attacks is affecting the servers. However, Blizzard is actively working on the issue and hopefully, the servers will be back soon.
Some online services continue to be impacted by a series of DDoS attacks which are resulting in high latency and disconnections. These disruption effects have been felt by a portion of our players, impacting their gaming experience. Thank you again for your continued patience.

The attacks began on September 7th and continued on September 8th too. Even though many players are out of the attack now but a large number of the community is still facing issues. Blizzard scheduled another series of tests for today morning and we hope are to go by PC Gamers report, the servers are back again.
The attacks seem to be coming through a Twitter account named UkDrillas who took the credit for the attack further giving a warning before many players began running into connection errors:
In roughly 20-30mins.
Will attack every US PVP WoW server.
Just setting up domain =)

But since the takedowns, the account has been suspended and the tweets have been deleted.
