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.

It was also obfuscated in the source code by downloading the block list when the app was opened and then lied to the user about blocked instances, showing a message saying they weren’t compatible with the app rather than admitting the app had blocked them.
Which also is what led to it being found, since db0, being a good dev, saw his whole instance was “incompatible” and dug into it to resolve it and figured out what was really going on.
