"Mr. Cunnilingus, in the network, with a soldering iron" is not your common-place solution in Clue. Please, let the BOFH not take notice.

Maybe it was one of the several in-theater endings of Clue, but got cut from the DVD release?

Long time

15 years with no practice, He will have to give up his title of Mr. Cunnilingus.

I expect he will learn some new oral skills in prison for that long.

Always look for the silver lining.

Re: Long time

Whenever I see a sex-based handle online I automatically assume the owner is some lonely bastard.

Re: Long time

Mr. Salad-Tosser?

Or in a somewhat obligatory Red Dwarf reference, Mr. Rimmer?

[Jedit]

"15 years with no practice"

He's an anonymous DDOSer. When the system beat him, it was the first time in his life that a pussy got licked.

A sad sack indeed.

Anonymous? Not as much as he thought he was.

[Anonymous Coward]

> 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.

[Anonymous Coward]

15 years! That's a bit hard to swallow

But practice makes perfect!

Gone are the days - when you'd just leave a dog turd in your boss's letter box & be done with it.

"...dog turd in your boss's letter box "

Things have moved on - this is now DSaaS...

[Anonymous Coward]

From the "I know a guy department"...

He left one of his own bum-nuts in the bosses waste paper bin over a weekend.

Pre DNA testing days were carefree.

Door handles

Car door handles make good repositories for canine faeces.

Was better in the 80s when they were all ‘lift the flap’ design.

Bloody moron.

Not Your Private Army, mate.

oh , are one of them?

Shouldnt you be typing in all caps?

One long list of victims

Are they clearing all their backlog of cases?

No log US VPN?

"Behm said the source of the attacks could not be determined because the traffic was routed through a US-based VPN that didn't retain logs."

A VPN that doesn't keep logs...and US based?

Inquiring minds want to know what VPN service this is!

Logs from security guy....

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.
