Hacker j.ailed for DDoS a.ttacks against Skype and Goo.gle.
A 21-year-old has been jailed for two years after being convicted of launching DDoS attacks against high-profile technology firms.

The UK's West Midlands police force said late last week that Alex Bessell, from Liverpool, was behind a string of attacks against well-known brands, including Skype, Google, and Nintendo's Pokemon web domains.

In a statement, the law enforcement agency said Bessell ran a botnet with over 9,000 slave PCs under his command which were used to launch Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.

DDoS attacks send a flood of illegitimate traffic to web domains in a bid to crash them and prevent legitimate traffic from reaching these addresses, causing businesses disruption, time, and money to resolve.
