Well, a denial of service attack is intended to harm the target. That is no small matter. A DOS attack on CloudyNights is no different in effect from a DOS to say NASA or Boeing. The idea is to maximise inconvenience and disruption and to cause all consequent harm including financial. It is malicious, deliberate harm. In my view, anyone doing this deserves what they get. The law is not unknown. The penalties are known. The risk is known. Their bad!
