Cyber Criminals - Saad Echouafni

Howdy Cadets! Spring has Sprung! Birds are blooming, flowers are chirping…wait…reverse those… Anyway, all this return of activity and new growth has got me thinking about one thing…

Cyber Criminals!

Getting ahead in the business world can be tough…especially when you have competitors that will do almost anything to get ahead. Saad Echouafni is a former head of a satellite communications company turned alleged cyber criminal who is wanted in Los Angeles for allegedly using hackers to attack his competitors with denial of service attacks.

The attacks Echouafni allegedly ordered affected both commercial and governmental business. Some of these businesses were shut down for up to two weeks! The total cost of the attacks is between $200,000 and $1 Million.

And I thought those satellite TV vs. cable TV ads were tough…
