"CBCZ officers in Lublin, Poland's eighth-largest city, said the websites, portals, and services the alleged criminal attacked were located around the world. Officials said on Tuesday morning the suspect used "C2 stresser" and "Command and Control Node" machines to carry out the attacks, referring to the overall mechanism as a multi-layered botnet. The case is ongoing and further arrests related to the same activity are possible."
"The man faces six charges and a maximum five-year prison sentence for disrupting IT systems and acquiring the software to do so. Following the man's arrest at his apartment, officers seized his computer equipment, saying that in doing so they "dismantled the IT infrastructure used to host and distribute DDoS attack tools." The 20-year-old is said to have admitted to "most of the charges" and was bailed after providing a police statement. He will remain under non-custodial police supervision until sentencing."
