Not attempting to critique general concept, just asking about this specific case because cyber seems tricky to assess. May well be appropriate but I find these cases difficult to get a fix on because they are not always transparent.

I think at a high level, this is probably the best outcome out of many. At a deeper emotional level, this doesn't feel like justice.

Thanks. I share that sense of unease balanced with knowing it may be as good as it gets. Appreciate your reporting in security.

Remind me again if this was somewhat of a prank against gamers that went way off the rails ... why did they target you? Did you ever get an explanation? Guessing that would be hard to claim was an accident.

They claimed it was someone renting their botnet who was upset over my reporting on vDOS, which preceded by a few hours the arrest of those responsible for running vDOS. See: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/01/who-is-anna-senpai-the-mirai-worm-author/ … and https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/alleged-vdos-proprietors-arrested-in-israel/ …

Ah thanks. So they were also making money renting it out.
