Authorities seize popular, long-running DDoS-for-hire service domains

Authorities executed a coordinated seizure of NightmareStresser—a popular, long-running DDoS-for-hire service—removing its primary domain and related websites as part of Operation PowerOFF; the service allegedly facilitated hundreds of thousands of DDoS attacks against a wide range of victims, but experts warn that similar booter services are persistent, often low-sophistication, and likely to reappear, complicating enforcement and attribution.
