Legality

If the "United Kingdom is unusual in that it specifically outlawed denial-of-service attacks", attacks would not be illegal in other EU countries. So how could people be arrested for them? Furthermore to say that those "committing criminal denial-of-service attacks may, as a minimum, lead to arrest" reads oddly, arrest is nether a criminal sanction nor an end in itself. People are arrested if they have broken the law and face charges.

What does "Yo-yo attack" mean?

I understood everything about what a yo-yo attack is, but the meaning of that term is not described (or it may possibly be unclear). I already added a hidden comment saying "Etymology needed" in the section about yo-yo attacks, and therefore i am requesting that someone find a reliable source that documents where the term "yo-yo attack" came from, and then reference it there. 67.209.129.23 (talk) 16:54, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

It needed to be wikilinked, where a description of what a yo-yo is can be found. The implication in it being called a yo-yo attack is that the DoS traffic rises and falls/goes up and down, instead of being a steady-state DoS. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 19:44, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good. Thanks for making it more understandable. I just misunderstood that section [lol]. 67.209.129.23 (talk) 21:00, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
