Very interesting. I wish the story told more.
South Korean police have arrested a CEO and five employees for manufacturing over 240,000 satellite receivers pre-loaded or later updated to include DDoS attack functionality at a purchaser’s request.

Allegedly, the functionality was needed to counter the attacks of a competing entity.
