South Korean police arrested a CEO and five employees after uncovering a scheme where a manufacturer produced 240,000 satellite receivers—98,000 with a DDoS module pre-installed and the rest updated via firmware—to enable illegal DDoS attacks at a purchaser's request between January 2019 and September 2024; Interpol provided intelligence leading to the arrests, assets were seized and 61 billion KRW was confiscated, while the equipment buyers remain free and subject to international pursuit.
