DDoS-for-Hire Crackdown

Authorities identified over 75,000 users of the illegal services, which allowed individuals to launch powerful cyberattacks for a fee.

The operation targeted the infrastructure that makes such attacks accessible to non-experts, posing a significant threat to businesses and individuals globally.

Police have begun emailing thousands of suspected users to warn them against future criminal activity.

This coordinated effort represents a major blow to the 'booter' service industry and highlights the growing international cooperation in combating cybercrime.
