Hacker Pleads Guilty to Attacking Anti-phishing Group

[Osiris]

If you are going to try to be Mr. Uberhacker and take down Castlecops with a denial of service attack, don’t be a wuss and plead out….take it all the way to trial so you get the max when they find you guilty. That’s what real hackers do.

Gregory King, 21, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to two counts of "transmitting code to cause damage to a protected computer," for launching distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks against the Castlecops anti-phishing Web site and Killanet, an online forum for gamers and graphic designers.
