FBI busts alleged DDoS Mafia
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-08-26

A Massachusetts businessman allegedly paid members of the computer underground to launch organized, crippling distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against three of his competitors, in what federal officials are calling the first criminal case to arise from a DDoS-for-hire scheme.

I would like to make a few passing comments.

What ever happened to having some morals? Why should a person need to know how to patch their system? It's only because there are COWARDS that linger on the net attacking innocent people who have done nothing to deserve being hacked into.

This is supposed to be a free world where my stuff is my stuff - and everyone should respect that.

Why should I have to lock my car and set my alarm just to keep people from stealing things that don't belong to them. Nobody gave me the things I have. I got out, got an honest job and purchased everything I have. I don't believe it's anybody's responsibility to take care of me BUT ME!.

I bet you 99% of these hackers or script-kiddies or IDIOTS wouldn't confront somebody in person! They have to hide behind their little keyboards and computer screens to get the attention their Mom and Dad never showed them.

GET OUT AND GET A REAL JOB!

If you think everybody should know how to patch their systems, then why not get out there and spend some time helping people to learn instead of sneaking around in the dark and taking advantage of them. I HATE DISHONEST PEOPLE!!!
