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.

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.
