Hmmm... it's interesting if true. Or we could be being trolled by the same group along with Von Lars Wienand.

It would still be a bit sad if a cancer donation site could be brought down with so much less than 1 donation per second, but I'd use occam's razor.

The institutes which have been donated to are confirming a huge amount of Donations, which started last night. So there are very many real donations.

Awesome! There were 4000 (plus 73) donations at the time and I hear that there have been more than 10k over the last day for more than 100k euro.

Still we don't know if that brought down the server accidentally or on purpose. It's a question of intent, and their desire for publicity. Sadly, it only takes one.
