News brief: Polish authorities arrested four individuals accused of operating multiple DDoS-for-hire platforms (Cfxapi, Cfxsecurity, neostress, jetstress, quickdown, zapcut) that facilitated thousands of attacks worldwide from 2022–2025. The takedown was coordinated internationally under Operation PowerOFF, with domain seizures, intelligence sharing among countries, and victim-oriented deterrence tactics such as fake booter sites and ad campaigns.
