Whether DICE are or are not aware, they have not taken the numerous opportunities afforded them to remove/block the exploit that 'we' are aware of, and you quite obviously are not.
The events you quoted, has already been suggested to EBF elsewhere (as he felt this occurrence was worthy of spamming numerous forums) as the most likely explanation, some months ago now.=6thAD=KJ43 wrote:

It was just a couple of events that happened at the same time so it seemed like it was one event. Event one: the server was crashing. Event two: idiot admin bans EBF because they felt he was probably to blame.
Imo they fucked their own server up. It wasn't a default admin password and it wasn't hacked.
The symptoms, the server, the timing all suggests 'we' know what (and whom) the most likely cause of the crash is; it has been a problem with increasing regularity since before Christmas.
Unless you run servers I wouldn't expect it to be of concern, warrant any serious investigation or indicate malicious activity, therefore ignorance by the layman is entirely understandable. Forgive my rather opprobrious attitude to DUnlimited, I don't like obnoxious ego maniacs and liars.
If you come across admins whose servers are similarly suffering from irregular spates of crashing, you can forward them to myself or GGC (A number of their admins are well acquainted with this issue).
