Anonymous DDoS Swoop Results in Five Arrests

I'll never understand why idiots like this would risk jail time, fines and a criminal record just to DDoS companies like PayPal and Amazon. Ten years in jail is a long time, I hope it was worth it.

The five, who are aged between 15 and 26, were detained at 7am on Thursday at addresses in the West Midlands, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and London, the Metropolitan Police Central eCrime Unit (PCeU) said in a statement. The suspects were taken to local police stations and remain in custody, the police added.
