Europol, Poland Bust Major DDoS-for-Hire Operation, Arrest 4

Polish authorities, supported by Europol, the US, Germany and the Netherlands, arrested four individuals and seized servers and domains linked to six DDoS-for-hire platforms (Cfxapi, Zapcut, Jetstress, Neostress, Cfxsecurity, Quickdown) that enabled thousands of disruptive denial-of-service attacks from 2022–2025 against schools, public services, businesses and gaming platforms; the operation highlights international cooperation, intelligence-led infiltrations (including fake booter sites), and continued efforts to disrupt the on-demand DDoS market.
