DPP v Lennon
DPP v Lennon, is the first reported criminal case in the U.K. concerning so-called “denial of service” (DoS) attacks.〔Fafinski, S., “Cyber crime”, (2007) The New Law Journal 157(7258), 159〕 The appeal court, found that DoS attacks constituted an offence of unauthorised modification under s.3 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (CMA) and thus, clarified the law regarding DoS.〔Pinsent Masons, (''DPP v Lennon'' ), (2007), accessed 19 February 2012.〕
==Facts==
Lennon, a 16 years old teenager, was employed by Domestic & General Group PLC (D&G) for three months until he was dismissed in December 2003. In January 2004, Lennon downloaded a mail bombing program from the internet, the Avalanche v3.6, and used it to bombard D&G with emails.〔Kon, G., Church, P., “A denial of service but not a denial of justice”, (2006) Computer Law & Security Report 22, 416-417〕 Email bombing, is the action whereby a program deliberately sends large numbers of emails to a particular email address within a business and is an example of a DoS attack whereby multiple requests are made with objective to slow down or disable a network.〔Creaton, J.,” Recent Judicial Decisions”, (2006) Police Journal 79(4), 371〕
The Avalanche was set to “mail until it stopped”. The emails also “spoofed” the name of Betty Rhodes, D&G’s Human Resources manager, therefore they appeared to originate from Ms Rhodes, rather than from Lennon.〔Fafinski, S., Service denied?,(2006)The New Law Journal 156(7248), 1712-1713〕 During the weekend, it was estimated that almost 5 million emails had been received by the group servers, with the last one sent to Ms Rhodes stating “it won’t stop”. This consequently overwhelmed D&G’s servers and brought them down along with the corporate website.〔 The Met’s Computer Crime Unit rolled into action and traced the attack to an address in the West Midlands. Lennon was arrested, interviewed and sent for trial at Wimbledon Youth Court.〔Oate J., ( ''Kid who crashed email server gets tagged'' ), 2006, accessed 17 February 2012.〕
