DPP v Lennon

DPP v Lennon is the first reported criminal case in the U.K. concerning so-called "denial of service" (DoS) attacks. The appeal court found that DoS attacks constituted an offence of unauthorised modification under s. 3 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (CMA) and thus clarified the law regarding DoS.
