Aren't DDOS attacks illegal? If they admit doing it, shouldn't there be legal action?
had their systems set to automatically bombarded the closed tracker with 8,000 SYN packets a second
The systems weren't SET to create a DDos. That was a side affect of an attempt to reach a resource that was taken offline. Should MD been monitoring their system better? No doubt about it. But the characterization that they PLANNED a DDos is wrong.
Says who? You? Your source for this is what? Media Defender? Have you no shame?

8000 connection attempts PER SECOND. Let me repeat that so it might sink in: 8000 CONNECTION ATTEMPTS PER SECOND. That is 8 connection attempts per millisecond. Care to posit what kind of hardware and software resources are needed to send SYN packets at that rate? Tell you what: if a clueful cop caught you or me with software that was intended to work in that manner, he or she would, at the very minimum, make us his or her long-term hobby and our lives something of a living hell.

No, I really guess you don't have any shame, if you are gonna come around peddling that.
