In the latest blow to the criminal market for distributed denial of service (DDoS)-for-hire services, Polish authorities have arrested four individuals who allegedly ran a network of platforms used to launch thousands of cyberattacks worldwide. The suspects are believed to be behind six separate stresser/booter services that enabled paying customers to flood websites and servers with malicious traffic — knocking them offline for as little as EUR 10.
DDoS attacs are too easy, any idiot and noob can do it with this type of attac service. Only need to enter the URL of a Website and push Enter. Because of this it’s somewhat strange that an DDoS attac still works in modern websites after almost 20 years since is used.
