|

In May 2004 IRC-Junkie reported about the ongoing problems for the IRCHighway network caused by DDoS. In June of this year Jason Michael Downey, known as Nessun and owner of the network Rizon, was arrested for these problems.
This PDF outlines the sentence Nessun heard on the 23rd of this month. We can read: "Jason Michael Downey, the operator of ?“bot network?” of virus infected computers that he used to attack other computer systems, was sentenced to a year in federal prison today on his conviction for unlawful computer intrusion that caused over $20,000 in damages to other computer networks, United States Attorney Stephen J. Murphy announced today."
After the jail sentence Nessun will have a 3 year supervised period during which he will need to ask permission before he can use a computer. He will also have to pay $21,110 in damages to the (IRC) networks the DDoS was aimed at. Finally he will have to do 150 hours of community service and pay a $100 special assessment.
During speaking out the sentence judge Edmunds explained that computer crime has a serious impact on society and that a severe punishment was in order.
United States Attorney Stephen J. Murphy said, "The so-called ?‘bot-masters?’ on the Internet should realize that attacking and damaging other computer networks through a bot-net can land you in prison. We have the capacity to investigate and prosecute these high tech crimes and we will continue to do so. I commend the FBI for the excellent investigative work they did in this case."

The real damage will be pretty close to this amount of money. Add to this the time you need to invest into the case etc and it's not worth it....

The Damage costs was alot higher then 21,000$ i know 1st hand it was my network he killed. the DDos Start April 2004 and went on to August 2004, i had my network under DDos protection from around the beginning of June 2004 and he could not drop then on the 29th Aug 2004 and the 30th Aug 2004 he hit my network with over 2gbit and on the 2nd day i told the people hosting it under protection to close it down as the cost was to high, just them 2 hits cost around 60,000$ because of the protection i had it under thats was without all the other attacks over the 5 months he tried. so i would say he got a little bit of what he deserved not all.
