- Animats 1y agoYes. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to start. The first demand letter from a lawyer will usually stop this. The great thing about suing big companies is that they have to show up. You have no contractual agreement which prevents suing; this is entirely from the outside.
- SoftTalker 1y agoThreatening to sue is one thing. Actually doing it will cost you time and money. And even if you get a judgement how are you going to collect from some rando in Singapore?

- Animats 1y agoThere are ways. You sue AWS and "Does 1-50". Then AWS's lawyers become eager to tell you who misused their service so you can sue the other party. Talk to a lawyer.
- impossiblefork 1y agoIt's AWS's system and they have been informed that the spam/DDOS is ongoing. They have control of what goes on on their computers and they are responsible.
- tempestn 1y agoThat's not how lawyers or bills work, unfortunately in this case, but fortunately in general.
