However let's take a deep breath and think about these things.
Would ACR knowingly compromise their servers just to have avatars?
Could a site be a much juicier target to DDoS during their flagship series and high volume times?
Why would a site communicate with it's players they're being successfully DDOS'd if it could lead to other hackers making attempts except, to be honest with their user base?
Good points. and I know DDOS attacks are rampant so it's definitely possible. I doubt the avatars, dumb as they are, affect their servers at all. The double up your win in MTTs and the spin to get in and other additions might have a little effect but I doubt it's enough to cause or worsen any real server problems.
I just think they need to invest some of the resources they're using to add all these "gamble" additions to poker to beef up their security and their servers.
