Technical details and impact analysis
## Summary:
Hello Team,
I had gone through your policy and I saw that DoS is out of scope but I am not sure about Application level DoS. The another reason to report this attack because it affects real customers who want to chat with your support team. I had tested this with two accounts
1. From Account 1 I had tried to send 64K * 64K resolution image
2. Simultaneously from Account 2 I had tried to send normal image (with different Internet Connection).
3. The response was 502 for both images.
## Steps To Reproduce:
1. Go to cs.money and login with Account1, Login Account2 on different device with different Internet Connection.
2. Now Find Support symbol.
3. Click on attachments and upload "lottapixel.jpg" from Account1.
4. Simultaneously upload normal image from Account2.
