                                          Sergiy P. Usatyuk, the man responsible for running a profitable DDoS for hire service out of Orland Park, Illinois, has finally been sentenced to 13 years in prison, plus another 3 years of supervised release. 

                   Mr. Usatyuk was able to run a successful DDoS-for-hire service, from which he made money off of by charging a subscription fee. He operated it with a co-conspirator from August 2015 to November 2017. According to a report, the operation had 1,367,610 DDoS attacks, and had cost computer systems 109,186.4 of network downtime. He had also made over 550,000 dollars off of the sum total of subscription fees. 

                   A judge has forced Mr. Usatyuk to forfeit all of his servers, and assorted computer equipment, as well as most of his proceeds.
