Man uses DDoS attacks to censor news he didn’t like
 

No he was not an AMD, Nvidia, Intel or Apple fanboy

A 32-year-old Seattle man is in hotwater after claims he launched a DDoS attack on a US-based legal services website to force it to remove a link about his past criminal conduct.

The authorities also say Kamyar Jahanrakhshan launched distributed denial of service attacks on various overseas media outlets for not removing stories about his credit-card scam and other crimes.

The FBI says that the day after a DDoS attack in January, 2015, the suspect sent an e-mail to Leagle.com pretending to be the hacking group Anonymous. The e-mail explained that the DDoS attack was launched because the defendant, Kamyar Jahanrakhshan, "is being unjustly victimised by you" for not abiding by his numerous requests to remove the link.
