Legality

[edit]

If the "United Kingdom is unusual in that it specifically outlawed denial-of-service attacks", attacks would not be illegal in other EU countries. So how could people be arrested for them? Furthermore to say that those "committing criminal denial-of-service attacks may, as a minimum, lead to arrest" reads oddly, arrest is nether a criminal sanction nor an end in itself. People are arrested if they have broken the law and face charges.

Confusing "record" dates

[edit]

Under the History section, a paragraph starts by saying Google was attacked with a peak of 2.54 T/s in 2017. A few sentences later it says attacks in 2018 set records for the worst (highest peak?) attacks, but those numbers are lower. Did the Google attack happen in a later year than stated, or are the T/s numbers incorrect? Source documentation also needs to be cited. MandieJ1975 (talk) 02:44, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
