Alleged Youngster Botmaster is in Plenty of TroubleStumble This

FBI Cufflinks

21-year-old Gregory King is alleged to have been the botmaster behind DDOS attacks against CastleCops, McDonald’s, Best Buy and KillaNet Technology Ltd. When the FBI raided his house, he apparently fled out the backdoor carrying his laptop which he tossed into bushes. His alleged Botnet included over 7,000 machines, a pretty good effort for a 21-year-old who claimed to suck at VB.Net. He used the handles “Silenz,” “Sz” and “Gregk707.”

He is 21-years-old and going by the picture in his profile, a tad too fresh faced for the hoosegow. Considering the fact that if convicted, he faces up to ten years in a federal penitentiary, not to mention a $250,000 fine, he is in a whole lot of trouble.
