Michigan Man Sentenced Over Computer Attacks

An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

A 19-year-old Michigan man who ran an Internet business selling retro sports jerseys was sentenced Friday to 30 months in federal prison for recruiting a New Jersey teen to carry out computer attacks against competitors.

Jason Salah Arabo was also ordered to pay $504,495 to his victims, which included operators of competing Web sites as well as an Internet hosting company.

Arabo, of Southfield, Mich., pleaded guilty in April to a federal conspiracy charge.
