Comment It all depends on the damage and reason for it. (Score -1, Troll) 232
If all hacker did was to DoS a site, the damage is pretty much zero.
Its like a riot that blocks a street for 1/2 of a hour.
However, in more severe cases, it should be punished, but not too harash.
For example getting 15 years in prison for hacking a site, it just too much!
