John Pierce responded to my email this morning right before it came back up and stated a Denial of Serivce Attack!

I do not know the law on this here.- would hope that it was actionable and worth it.A civil tort or a criminal act?
Might if it happened to the to the VPC or MAIG - otherwise not likely. :?Hmm, wonder if this attack will make the media?
I presume a lot of time and effort (therefore money) with little/no chance of recovery. Also don't think this is high on the priority list for LEA.Actually a denial of service attack is illegal, but it has to be reported and you have to supply syslogs to support the investigation. You have to be willing to make a federal case out of it.
