This reminds me of an exploit somebody found last year where they could force facebook to do a DDOS attack for them:

One could point out here that Facebook have nothing to do with this - the problem is entirely that PhotoGap have not cleaned up their DNS records and they are still sending traffic to that IP.

That wouldn't give such a clickbait title though, would it?

Can you not just get a fresh IP on Digital Ocean? You can on Scaleway.

2 requests per second does not DDoS make. Silly clickbait title.
