Sad-sack Anon calling himself 'Mr Cunnilingus' online is busted for DDoSing ex-bosses An electronics technician pleaded guilty on Wednesday to orchestrating distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on a former employer and other organizations – and to unlawfully possessing a firearm as a former felon. From July 2015 through around March 2017, according to a plea agreement, John Kelsey Gammell, of New Mexico …
> His plea agreement indicates that if he is determined to be an armed career-criminal, he faces a minimum sentence of 180 months
And what would the sentence be if he reconsiders and decides to be, for instance, a part-time hobbyist criminal? Or an unarmed one?
I do admire his determination, but 15 years is a bit much.
Around the time this was happening, a flaw in the template used by many of the DDoS sites and re-sellers of VDoS was found. Through this the logs could be snarfed among other things.
So it appears the FBI used data hacked from the systems of the stress testing site to get the info needed to get this guy. Saying it was provided by someone else gives them the ability to do this without questions asked on any cases they want?
The guy is obviously stupid enough to get caught anyway but the method is questionable imo.
