"Sixteen alleged members of Anonymous were arrested for their role in the PayPal DDoS, and could face more than 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. They were charged with conspiracy and “intentional damage to a protected computer” under the CFAA. The charge of intentional damage to a protected computer carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. These cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys in the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices for the Northern District of California, Middle District of Florida, and the District of New Jersey. The Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section also has provided assistance. . The FBI thanks the multiple international, federal, and domestic law enforcement agencies who continue to support these operations."
