As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

Same thing the last time, a claim of coordinated attacks (of which there were none), and anyone who dared say "well thats not cool" were targeted, myself included.

Though I surprisingly didn't make it into this list, but considering my commenting on it since, I'd probably make it into their next one.

These claims seem like a go-to for anyone caught doing something they know they shouldn't have in a way they shouldn't have.
