Michigan Man Gets 30 Months for Conspiracy to Order Destructive Computer Attacks on Business Competitors


NEWARK, N.J. -- A Michigan man was sentenced today to 30 months in prison for conspiring to conduct highly destructive computer attacks on competitors of his online sportswear business, including a web-based New Jersey company, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie announced.


U.S. District Judge Joseph E. Irenas also ordered Jason Salah Arabo, 19, of Southfield, Michigan, to make restitution of $504,495 to his victims -- the websites he targeted as well as an Internet hosting company.
Arabo pleaded guilty today before Judge Irenas on April 12, to a one-count Information charging him with conspiracy to cause the transmission of a program, information, code, and command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally cause damage without authorization, to a protected computer.


In pleading guilty, Arabo acknowledged that in 2004, he ran two web-based companies, www.customleader.com and www.jerseydomain.com, that sold sports apparel, including reproductions of sports uniforms, popularly known as "retro" or "throwback" jerseys.


"Arabo's 30-month prison sentence reflects the very serious and damaging nature of the computer attacks he orchestrated," said Christie. "This case went far beyond a teenager using his computer for online pranks. We will continue to investigate and aggressively prosecute the misuse of computers to commit crime."


According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric H. Jaso, who prosecuted the case, Arabo admitted that in online "instant message" conversations he met a New Jersey resident, Jasmine Singh, who communicated using the online name "Pherk." Arabo learned that Singh had covertly infected some two thousand personal computers with programs that enabled him to remotely control them. Singh demonstrated to Arabo online that he could command these computers to conduct attacks, known as distributed denial of service, or "DDOS" attacks, on computer servers and disable websites supported by those servers. Arabo admitted that he asked Singh to take down the websites and online sales operations of certain of his competitors. Arabo promised to compensate Singh for the attacks with merchandise, including designer sneakers.
