Why? I did not visit the site to participate in a DoS attack; yet my machine was coaxed into participating against my will. Whether this is happening in JS or a drive-by download or a browser 0-day is irrelevant.

You did participate in archive.today’s DDoS without visiting the site?

How if it‘s JS code in the site?
