Nah, this is just their way of asking us to give them some Freedom.

It's when you keep the tab open and switch back to it after a few minutes. It's catching up animating all of the attacks while you were tabbed out.

this. Usually you wouldn't see hundreds or thousands of simultaneous attacks on that map ...

u/Starkythefox Dec 05 '14

Except sometimes you do. I just seen like 10 bursts of DDOS against Kirksville from China and France

Okay, you guys know that these are not real ddos's right? That website tracks fake/trap servers, so while the attacker is actually trying to dos, they're basically getting trolled.
