U.S. authorities have seized 13 internet domains that offered DDoS-for-hire services to other criminal actors.
The seizure is part of an ongoing international initiative dubbed Operation Power Off that’s aimed at dismantling criminal DDoS infrastructures worldwide.
This includes school districts, universities, financial institutions, and government websites.
Ten of the 13 illicit domains are reincarnations of booter or stresser services that were previously shuttered towards the end of last year.
In addition to harming victims by disrupting or degrading access to the internet, attacks from booter services can also completely sever internet connections for other customers served by the same internet service provider via a shared connection point.
According to the DoJ, these attacks result in a significant loss of revenue for the criminals.
