Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-08-26

It is an especially rewarding to see the criminals get what they deserve, and to know that if nothing else, my sites. The people who killed http://relays.osirusoft.com committed a crime that cost me personally well over $10,000, as well as potential future business that would have been available had my site, http://www.osirusoft.com been online, and caused frustrations for many companies wondering where all their mail went when I was forced to use a less than friendly shut down method to try to recover bandwidth from my network.

I'm just glad it's over, and that the FBI made a case against them.
