“On a chilly Tuesday morning in December, Shaikh ran a piece of testing software, called ApacheBench, that flooded YouSendIt’s servers with traffic. The servers keeled over immediately. Shaikh never imagined that authorities would be interested in his activities. To him, they amounted to nothing more than a prank, a way to blow off steam. He was unaware that federal agents were subpoenaing his Internet records—and quietly reaching out to his friends and associates. On October 28, 2009, Shaikh was indicted on four counts of computer fraud for attacking YouSendIt’s servers. He was released on a $100,000 unsecured bond.”
