A two-year sentence has been handed to a person who had a job in a sequence of DDoS assaults in opposition to Daybreak Games, then often known as Sony Online Entertainment.
Austin Thompson has been sentenced to 27 months in jail for his position in DDoS assaults which occurred in 2013 and 2014.
Thompson plead responsible to the fees in November 2018 and was sentenced yesterday. As a part of his sentence, he’s to pay $95,000 in restitution.
The 2013 assaults have been made by Thompson’s group “DerpTrolling” and affected on-line companies apart from Sony Online Entertainment, now known as Daybreak Games.
These companies included Battle.internet, Dota 2, and League of Legends.
