According to a recent article from Krebs on Security, it is looking like courts in different parts will be handing down harsher sentences for people who do denial of service attacks. Could this be a good thing? I really like the end of the article: “If you can’t do the time, than don’t do the crime.” I don’t remember at this moment if that is the exact quote at the end of the article, but it is going to fit.
According to the article, there are a lot of people who do this type of crime, and the consequences are not enough. They think that the crime should be punished harder because of the impact it has on business and the internet as a whole.
I’d invite you to read the article in full. The article is entitled: Courts Hand Down Hard Jail Time for DDoS and it was written on the 14th of January.
