International law enforcement coordinated in Operation PowerOFF to disrupt DDoS-for-hire (booter/stresser) services, seizing 53 domains, making four arrests, executing 25 search warrants, searching backend infrastructure, and sending warning notices to over 75,000 suspected users; the report cites Cyble research showing a 140% increase in DDoS attacks targeting Israeli entities after September 2025 and up to 40 DDoS attacks per day, while noting the market’s capacity for rapid reconstitution.
