17 Year Old Arrested For Hacking Black Ops

A 17 year old hacker from Manchester, United Kingdom has been arrested for a hack putting Black Ops "Out of Commission". The hack was named "Denial of Service" and left many pc users unable to play the game.

Supposedly a malicious program called "Phenom Booter" was behind this. This was being put up for sale on some forums and it would allow you to score more points on COD and stop others from playing.

Activision was quick to act as they tracked his I.P. address and contacted police to have the kid arrested. He is in custody at the moment and awaiting further assessment. My thoughts when I read this was, "Was that worth it getting arrested for something as dumb as this" I mean come on, you just got yourself in a heap of trouble for a pointless hack that just makes the game unplayable for others. I can understand prestige glitching and etc. But this is taking it a little too far in my opinion. What do you guys think? Should people draw a line on hacking COD?

The thing with this is he used a ddos, "ip hacking" is considered a federal offence in many states, doesn't matter if it's for a game or something else, he infected others with viruses, and used it for illegal means by attacking an ip.
