If the "United Kingdom is unusual in that it specifically outlawed denial-of-service attacks", attacks would not be illegal in other EU countries. So how could people be arrested for them? Furthermore to say that those "committing criminal denial-of-service attacks may, as a minimum, lead to arrest" reads oddly, arrest is nether a criminal sanction nor an end in itself. People are arrested if they have broken the law and face charges.
Sorry, but how is my phrase misleading? Also, the fact that educational institutions or an accidental refresh of all open tabs could cause the false appearance of a DoS attack does not need a source, as is self-explanatory. I speak from experience, as I co-operate a small site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MKAFL2489 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
