If you are having trouble logging in Monitor 2 At launch, you are not alone. Blizzard President Mike Ybarra announced on Twitter that Monitor 2 Servers are currently subject to a “massive” distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which typically occurs when something is maliciously flooded with traffic to prevent others from connecting.
