Europol Dismantles 27 DDoS Attack Platforms Across 15 Nations; Admins Arrested
Briefly

Known as 'booter' and 'stresser' websites, these platforms enabled cybercriminals and hacktivists to flood targets with illegal traffic, rendering websites and other web-based services inaccessible.
The motivations for launching such attacks vary, from economic sabotage and financial gain to ideological reasons, as demonstrated by hacktivist collectives such as KillNet or Anonymous Sudan.
The latest efforts to dismantle these services showcase the collaborative international response against cybercrime and the ongoing battle between law enforcement and cybercriminals.
PowerOFF is a multi-year initiative involving 15 countries aimed at eradicating stresser services and identifying individuals behind these illicit platforms.
