Mafiaboy Gets His Wrist Slapped
An anonymous reader writes: "Mafiaboy, the Canadian 'hacker' that did the DOS on Ebay, Amazon, Excite, CNN, etc. has gotten 8 months in a youth detention centre and 1 year probation. Prosecuters think this will be a message to 'hackers' that do this kind of thing. I say the message should be to the scriptkiddies who obviously don't know how to cover their tracks, to at least learn to do so before they download malicious software." The other message is that even if you get caught, your sentence will be ridiculously easy.
It's not his wrist I'd like to see slapped. It's his ass by the balls of someone who's not going to take his arrogant shit, but shove it farther into him.
And I say the government should stop spending their time protecting rich companies from their own stupidity and start protecting citizens from being killed. Poor poor Ebay lost a few million of fucking business. Let's stop people from killing each other before we worry about such things.
ok then your [sic] infringing on my copyright! Could you as [sic] me next time before STEALING my comments for your own?
He should have gotten three eternities
Hmm in canada, you do cyber crime and you get punished... This is great! for some reason here in the US you get tortured, sent to prison, smeared, and demolished without even getting to trial...
I think Canada is treating it's citizens fairly.. while here in the US we just use our Gestapo tactics.
President Bush said that the WTC attack was an attack on freedom.. and I agree, but it is less of an attack on freedom than the United States Government places every day.... the DCMA destroys freedom faster and with more completeness than any bomb or attack could ever accomplish.
But american right now are distracted from the real issues of protecting freedom.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
