DDoS Attacks Confirmed

This is actually a real life crime and can be punished as such depending on the country of the offender/country of the victim and whether extradition agreements are in place. It is just rarely enacted upon as most companies dont feel it worth the legal fees to push.

It's also hard to get international agencies to cooperate in DDOS attacks - depending on the scale. One point worth mentioning is that criminal prosecutions are not pushed by victims, they are pushed by prosecuting authorities.

Really depends as it would not be considered a federal crime in most countries but an attack of person so unless a company chooses to press charges (loss and damages in most cases) then there is really nothing a law agency can do other than "monitor" the offender for the future.

Most countries have laws that make hacking a criminal, not a civil offense though, it's just low priority and very underfunded.
