The FBI has taken down several of the largest DDoS-as-a-service sites on the web.
The Justice Department has taken 15 internet domains associated with DDoS-for-hire services offline, and has filed charges against three defendants who allegedly ran them.
DDoS for hire or DDoS-as-a-service operations make it simple for any layperson to carry out DDoS attacks, flooding targets with so much internet traffic that it overwhelms a site or IP address and knocks it offline. Stessor or booter services, as they’re known, allow users to simply pay a low-cost fee to direct those traffic floods to their intended targets without a requirement for deep technical knowledge.
