Hasn't anybody realized this is illegal? Not that I want to support the scammers, but intentionally trying to use up bandwidth or knock a server out is just as bad as running a true DOS attack.

Thanks, but I don't want my IP address associated with this...

I'm just worried that one of the ISP's will decide to get pissy about this...

Nice! Two more down, and the site has been updated. Now they're showing 27 nuked sites, instead of 25, and the home page is loading 2 new ones.

I like this. :D

Damn it, I'm results oriented. I want to see "fake bank server death" or my tiny attention span will turn elsewhere.

Has this link been on slashdot? Fark? whatever other biggies?

I contemplated submitting the link to Fark but figured it has already been submitted multiple times.

Any ATOT TotalFarkers able to verify?

Ok, just after posting my last message, I noticed that now 2 sites are "suffering", up from 1. Just enough to keep me interested. Would love to see how well this would do with a couple thousand other folks involved.
