You'd probably be taking out (somewhat) innocent third parties. Most of
the phishing web sites are on legit servers that have been compromised. I
guess you could argue that they deserve it for not securing their servers,
but I doubt the owner would feel that way when their business just dies.
That would bring in the lawyers, and once that happens nobody wins (except
those that bill by the hour).
I don't really mean cripple the servers... I mean coordinated data
insertion. If you attempted to cripple the server, they would just
start firewalling the offending IP's which would have the opposite
effect. These would need to come in at a rate that would make the data
useless, but slow enough to be hard to tell legitimate from fake.
