Canadians throw the book at MafiaBoy hackerI was a teenage DDoSserPublished Friday 4th August 2000 09:54 GMT Mafiaboy, the teenage Canadian hacker, was slapped with 64 new charges, when he walked into a Montreal court yesterday. The 16-year-old boy, from Quebec, denied "mischief" charges relating to a fusillade of DDoS attacks in February against big hitter Web sites such as Yahoo! and eBay. Mafiaboy was charged in April with two mischief charges relating to a DdOS attack on CNN.com, also in February. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say his computer skills are "far from extraordinary".
