"Professional Script Kiddies" - isn't that an oxymoron? Heh heh..

Yeah, it'd have to be someone else.. due to the financial side. Once a cash transaction is made, a paper trail a mile long is created, and the authorities (depending on the country or treaty we're talking about) can jump. Besides, to really DDoS a location with lots of bandwidth, you'd have to have a pretty big bot network.. that's usually the domain of organized groups, not kids who aren't old enough to drive.

Some speakers I've seen recently from CERT and the FBI on DDoS have been quoting statistics having evidence of bot networks as big as 14,000 computers. No hard evidence, but estimates based on profiles of whats been going around. Myth or truth? Who really knows.
