Not if they found some expensive requests to use and/or if they have access to large botnets.
- whatusername 16y agosure - if you found some really really expensive requests perhaps. As has been stated -- It's pretty hard to put a bump in FB's traffic. The more likely explanation is that someone on 4chan noticed FB was down -- and then started talking about DOSing it.
- praeclarum 16y agoCompletely possible. Except the posts to call for the attack were made prior to the world-known outages. But I can't argue your point. I just found it curious that no one mentioned the planned attack.
- 146 16y agoThe Russians were barely able to slow down Facebook back in 2009. Unless someone on 4chan has a bigger botnet and just decided for lulz to DDoS Facebook, 4chan would not even come close to generating enough traffic to register on the #2 website on the Internet.
