Bruce Raisley, a software developer, has been charged with "launching denial of service attacks against websites belonging to Rolling Stone, Radar, and others." Raisley allegedly launched these attacks to block access to 2 articles written by the publications that reported embarrassing information about him. And of course, by him trying to do this has brought even more attention to his case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Erez Liebermann stated, "his actions were alarming in that he chose to attack third party websites when he didn’t like their content...It’s one thing for him to be unhappy with a website. It’s another thing for him to attack third parties that have not done anything, which causes damage on the side of the victim companies and on the side of any affected computer.”
