A US citizen has said he constructed a network of 20,000 infected PCs 
and used them to attack the Internet auction site

An Oregon man has pleaded guilty to using a computer worm to launch 
attacks against Internet auction site eBay, the U.S. attorney's office 
handling the case said on Wednesday.

Anthony Scott Clark, 21, pleaded guilty to intentionally damaging a 
protected computer, a crime with a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison 
and a fine of up to twice any losses incurred, according to the U.S. 
Attorney for the northern district of California.
