Cyber Lefty Jailed for Bill O’Reilly DDoS Attack

An idiot hacker wannabe acquired access to a botnet to shutdown Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter and Rudy Giuliani’s websites back in 2007. He also shutdown his own school in a clumsy attack that ultimately led to his arrest. Why was he so stupid? Smoking Dope methinks.

From NetworkWorld here:

Mitchell Frost, a 23-year-old Bellevue, Ohio, man has been sentenced to 30 months in prison following a 2007 online crime spree in which he used a network of hacked computers to attack and knock offline websites belonging to conservative pundits Bill O’Reilly and Ann Coulter.

Mitchell Frost must also pay US$40,000 in restitution to O’Reilly and $10,000 to the University of Akron, where he was enrolled at the time of the hacking.

He used the school’s computer network to control a botnet he’d built up between August 2006 and March 2007, and launched denial of service (DOS) attacks against Rudy Giuliani’s Joinrudy2008.com website, Billoreilly.com and Anncoulter.com.

The University of Akron was disrupted too, when Frost knocked its network offline for eight-and-a-half hours while trying to DOS-attack a gaming server hosted by the university. That happened on March 14, 2007. Frost’s dorm room was raided two weeks later.

Frost set up the Discountjwh.com website earlier this year after quitting his job as a Stanley Steemer carpet cleaning technician. JWH is a form of synthetic cannabis that is legal for sale in some U.S. states, including Ohio.

Stupid lefty. Put down the bong and realize that people have free speech in this country. You can’t even get a job with Stanley Steemer these days with a college credit in Ohio. LOL
