WoW Outages Caused by DDoS?

Netcraft has analyzed the recent outage of World of Warcraft, and suggested that the outage is more likely caused by a DDoS attack.

Epifanio, Senior Game Master on WoW forums blamed AT&T, their server hosting service provide for this major outage as followed:

"We'd like to make all players aware that at this time our internet service provider is experiencing significant complications, and as a result the playability on a large portion of realms has been adversely affected... Symptoms include but are not limited to lag, random disconnections and slow authentication. Our network technicians are doing everything in their power to work with our ISP so that this issue may be resolved as swiftly as possible."

However Netcraft think this problem is rather similar to the DDoS service happened on Final Fantasy XI last year, which means, this is not AT&T's fault.
