FBI seizes websites used by one of the world’s oldest DDoS-for-hire services
US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized internet domains associated with one of the world’s longest running Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) for-hire services known as “NightmareStresser.” According to a release by the Justice department, the websites were maintained by criminal service providers that allow paying customers to launch powerful DDoS attacks targeting victims in the District of Alaska and worldwide as part of coordinated actions to disrupt so called “Booter” or “Stresser” operators. The seizures were performed by the FBI Anchorage Field Office in coordination with The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Federal Policing Northwest Region.
