That's quite dated by now. If you are in a position to inject traffic, you are likely also able to simply use that uplink to send traffic of your own. I'd be surprised if this is still in use, especially outside of China (or a poor not-so-tech-savvy country like North Korea) and wasn't just a quick hack at the time.

It's only dated if the vulnerability has been patched. In this case, the only way to patch it is to serve over HTTPS.
If it was a quick hack, then that makes it even worse. Difficulty is a mitigating factor.
