/ 1 min read
🌐🔌 Europol leads global crackdown on DDoS attack services. In a significant operation dubbed PowerOFF, Europol and law enforcement from 15 countries have successfully dismantled 27 stresser and booter services used for conducting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Key websites such as zdstresser.net and orbitalstress.net were taken offline, and three administrators were arrested in France and Germany. The operation identified over 300 users involved in planned attacks, which are often motivated by financial gain or ideological reasons. This crackdown follows a rise in DDoS activity during the recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping season, particularly affecting the gambling and finance sectors. Experts recommend organizations enhance their security measures to mitigate risks associated with these attacks.
