    Hello!
    I am just thinking about new antiphishing project and would like to ask if DDOSing a phishing site is legal (of course if abuse department of the hosting won't delete the site in certain amount of time).

    I would assume DDOSing any website is illegal. Seeming if the site that is being attacked is legal or not doesn't make a difference. (I assume).

    IMO, go for it lol.

    Don't you think most of those phishing pages are temporary?

    Just be careful the people your attacking aren't noobs and redirect your DDoS attack to a government site. Then your really screwed ;)

    It's been done before.
