FYI admins
cross-posted from: https://quokk.au/c/fediverse/p/1066667/tesseract-dev-injects-malicious-code-into-browser-to-illegally-ddos-the-dbzer0-instance
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.
I hope it’s the end but like the piefed stuff we think it’s done then something else comes up.
Plus the dev/user/admin of dubvee has said a few times they’re leaving only to be back soon after saying that. Hell there were two or three announcements tesseract work was stopped 🤷
Genuinely feel like we’re seeing a mental health crisis or breakdown by the dev…
Gotta leave the door open for a next season sequel with a sneaky post credits scene.
What is the piefed stuff?
the same thing except less well hidden.
Piefed dev doing something similar on the flagship instance, and has some odd philosophies on what should be filtered out in the code.
When people started pointing it out and asking questions called it harassment and tried to get instances to instance ban them all.
Best part was insulting everyone looking at the code if you didn’t ask on their specific comm.
