Can you provide details?

I'm not familiar with RssCloud but WebSub requires the notification endpoint to confirm a subscription before sending new entries. So your DoS amplification is one small HTTP request for a small HTTP request. I guess at best it would make it slightly harder to block as it is coming from everywhere.
