Not likely at all. DOS attacks typically involve flooding a server with bogus traffic so that it cannot service legitimate requests.

As part of the attack, they may attempt scripted exploits to steal or alter data, or other nefarious things. There's no reason to think that there is any risk to users accessing AF, based on what I know. Tiberius would be the authority on that.

As always, keep your antivirus, etc up to date.
