 |  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. http://fudzilla.com/news/44225-man-u...he-didn-t-like |
