'Iron Mike' Ditka Launches Viagra Rival Blitz

NEW YORK (Reuters)- Internet porn purveyors can pant a little easier now. The hacker who allegedly tried to extort money from triple-X webmasters has been arrested in Israel.

Earlier this summer, a hacker with the alias Deepsy demanded $1,500 each from at least three online smut-selling firms. If the companies refused to pay, he warned, he'd crash their Internet operations with distributed denial-of-service attacks. One site took as many as 745 million hits per day during what was believed to be a Deepsy-coordinated assault.

But all that may be coming to an end now. Police in the desert city of Be'er Sheva took 20-year-old Pavel Vladislav into custody on suspicion of blackmail, extortion, theft, interfering with an investigation and conspiracy, according to the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot. In a posting to gofuckyourself.com (or GFY), the best-known bulletin board for porn webmasters, someone using the handle Deepsy1 identified himself as "Vladislav Pavlov" from Be'er Sheva.

"I hope he's gone. He deserves to go to jail for a long time," said one webmaster who was supposedly threatened by Deepsy. "He attempted to shut down businesses that make tens of thousands a day. Imagine walking into your local grocery store and shutting down their cash register system for a few days. There would be hell to pay."

The complete story can be found here.
