No need to debug, the website explains it all:

 "1. The screensaver sends a request to view a SPAM source site (it's
     only a request, so you won't actually see the page).
  2. The request is then sent to a database solely consisting of web
     webpages that use SPAM to promote their products.
  3. When a large number of screensavers send their requests at the
     same time the SPAM web pages become overloaded and slow. (They're
     not disabled completely.)"

What an euphemism for a DDoS-tool. And there is even an OSX-version of that screensaver. yay.
