A real story of a DDoS/Warez group

Saturday, November 6th, 2004

The Real THR34T KR3W: The Story of Hacker Connor Hansen is an article that shows the way this particular group of crackers worked.

Rather then summarizing the article here I recommend to read the article for anyone who likes to have an idea of the working of such a group.

And someone (again) wake those *.edu and *.mil people up!

Jay R. Echouafni on the run

Friday, November 5th, 2004

In August this year we posted about the DDoS arranged by the owner of FooNet on request by  Jay R. Echouafni.

CIT/FooNet was a well known web and IRC hosting company based in Powell, Ohio. Echouafni allegedly paid the owner of FooNet Paul Ashley $1000,- USD for staging a DDoS attack against two competitors of him. The FBI took custody of the servers of FooNet in February this year in an investigation of the events.

Jay R. Echouafni was released on bail and it is believed he has fled to Morocco. As a reaction the FBI put Echouafni on the most wanted list.
