Europol's sweeping takedown campaign has seized 27 popular booter and stresser websites, crucial in preventing holiday season DDoS attacks that often cause substantial disruption.
The rise in DDoS attacks, up 49% in the last quarter, particularly affects the banking and financial sectors, highlighting vulnerabilities during the busy festive season.
Frank Tutty emphasizes that Operation PowerOFF undermines trust among cyber criminals and targets the easily accessible DDoS-for-hire services that facilitate these attacks.
Europol's initiative not only includes arrests and website seizures but also aims to deter involvement in DDoS activities through a public awareness online campaign.
