-{ Quote: "An American hacker has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for waging potent attacks that took down two volunteer websites for days at a time.
Gregory C. King of Fairfield, California, was also ordered to pay more than $69,000 in restitution for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on CastleCops and KillaNet Technologies. In June, King admitted he used a bot army to wage a relentless campaign of destruction on the sites in a scheme to punish the operators for behavior he thought was unfair. The attacks were so fierce that his victims sustained as much as $70,000 in damage, according to court documents." }-Article (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/13/castlecops_attacker_sentenced/)
