Launching a DDoS attack online is illegal in most jurisdictions. Consequences can include hefty fines, imprisonment, and civil lawsuits from affected parties seeking damages for business losses and recovery costs. Laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the United States specifically address such activities.
