To answer your question, yes it does need to be updated but most DDoS attacks are handled server side by the host in most cases. But yes the login needs to be updated.

You can download it from here.

Zip file attachment removed by moderator.

Please understand that any paid plugin that is shared in this fashion is not supported at all from oxwall or the oxwall store. 

I have removed the plugin attachment  in the previous post.

We prohibit sharing of such plugins in this way because it bypasses the reason why it was taken down in the first place, it can also be very dangerous and finally it violates license rules. Paid plugins regardless of status (active, removed, suspended) must still hold true to the develoers rights to the code and to the license. 

We just went through something similar with someone else using a paid plugin that did not purchase it, and that developer was upset and they had a right to be upset.  The same rule applies to everyone, dont be sharing paid plugins regardless of status.  

What you all do in your private communications is your business but do not share paid plugins on oxwall platform in this way.

That means that you are on your own, if it breaks, if it messes up your website, if it crashes your DB.  Do not ask us to fix the plugin or the damage it does to your website, here on the public forum. 

I think the users don't value enough the damage they do 

sharing software illegally.

Then they complain that the developers are leaving, that there are no new plugins, that they disappear from the store and so on.

It's outrageous, and also publicly without any shame.

First, recommending plugins that no longer exist

Second, send the copyrighted code to anyone who needs it.

Then comes the step:

- "asks me for my license number"

And the answer:

- "you have to change this and that in these files"

And then the moderator appears, deletes the file and says that publicly no but privately it's okay.

Even SkaDate does it (see https://developers.oxwall.com/forum/topic/67140 )

I don't get it. This way, we won't move forward.

I did not intend to indicate that it was ever ok.  My point was that i only have control over oxwall environment, i do not have control over their personal communication so i cannot control that.   I guess i should have just said flat out.... never share paid plugins in any environment...
