Incident Hub

Aaron Caffrey, 19, was accused of bringing computers to a standstill at the port of Houston in Texas – but was found not guilty by a jury on October 17, 2003. This was despite both the prosecution and defence agreeing that Caffrey’s machine was responsible for launching the attack, that a list of 11,608 IP addresses of vulnerable servers was found on his hard drive, and the discovery of a malicious script on his system signed by someone called “Aaron”. An investigation by US authorities traced the attack back to a computer at Caffrey’s home in Shaftesbury, Dorset. Investigators found a copy of the attack script on the computer.
