You'd probably do alittle better down there, but here in Canada it's considered common mischief and doesn't qualify the CCC's section 342 theft of services clause. Likely a better option though since you can easily prove some kind of damages, but it's hard to convince a judge you lost 1000s when nothing physical was taken.

We've identified the individual (inDUHvidual?) and we're exploring our options. We've been involved in prosecuting intrusions :-), but not a DoS (yet).
