Seriously, how do you get away with saying that a simple DOS attack is worth two and a half YEARS in prison?
How does an alleged (read: stretched truth) $15k of damages equal to 2 and a half years of this poor guy's life?
Lol, $10k in damages to Akron Uni's servers? Hell no, I used to work there. Security nightmare, tbh. Nice people though.
I think they're still using LEAP for their university wireless network. It's great to yank passwords on the fly out of the air. I even wrote a paper when I was there 3 years ago on the insecurity of their wireless, but I hear nothing's been changed to this day.
This is wrong. Murderers these days get off easy. Sounds exactly like today's so called drug "crimes".
They say all of this is to scare people away from doing the crime in the first place. I don't see how harsher punishments will really affect the crime from occuring. It will just keep the violent people out of jail and the non-violent people in.
