UK sentences man for Mirai DDoS attacks against Liberia’s largest telecommunication firm. The attacks cost Lonestar MTN at least $600,000 to mitigate, plus tens of millions more because the disruptions caused customers to move to other providers. The perpetrator of the Liberia attacks, 30-year-old Daniel Kaye of Egham, England, was sentenced in Blackfriars Crown Court to serve a sentence of two years and eight months. Kaye admitted to having a hand in the attacks, which he began in October 2015. He has said he was paid $100,000 by a competitor, but Orange says it had no knowledge of the arrangement.”]
