I am not unbiased. As part of Spywareinfo, I witnessed firsthand a relentless DDoS attack and the consequences. Therefore, I am delighted to see this announcement from Robin Laudanski at CastleCops:

“…Today the arrest and indictment 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.”

CastleCops (Robin and Paul) do great work at their site. If you are not familiar with the site, do drop by and have a look. You will be impressed.
