-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via CastleCops. [snip] Today the arrest and indictment [.pdf] of Greg King, 21, of Fairfield California was announced. In the Indictment, the US Attorneys Office is alleging Greg King aka SilenZ was responsible for the DDoS of CastleCops last February. According to the Press Release he faces a maximum sentence of ten years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. There is no good reason for a DDoS. Targeting an individual or an online presence can and does have far reaching effects. It is excellent to see the US Attorneys Office taking an active stance with computer crime. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new trend where computer crimes are prosecuted with vigor which would diminish the feeling that the system fails. I have to tip my hat to Law Enforcement and the US Attorneys Office on this. We never expected to see any kind of prosecution so quickly.
