There's certainly a difference between a hundred and a thousand. If thousands of people were hitting it thousands of times, it would be a DDOS. What I have proposed is orders of magnitude smaller, because my objective is not to carry out a DDOS.

So yes, there is an effective difference. By design. I have no intention of dragging down the network. Filling out a form is not a high-bandwidth activity, and it will not be an activity that is synchronized among hundreds or thousands of users.

I love the "alleged phishing site". Yeah, those are really hard to recognize definitively. There's always a chance that it's a legitimate site asking for you to "verify your password", despite the warnings posted on the home site of whomever they are spoofing saying that they will never do that.

Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.
