Law enforcement across 15 countries, coordinated by Europol under "Operation PowerOFF," took offline 27 DDoS-for-hire (booter/stresser) sites, arrested several administrators, and identified about 300 customers; the action included seizures, indictments (including in the U.S. and the Netherlands), and analytic/forensic support to disrupt botnet-driven DDoS campaigns that have caused thousands of service outages and business disruption.
