Polish Police Pop Bubble of €10 Cybercrime: DDoS-for-Hire Platform Takedown
Polish authorities arrested four people behind DDoS-for-hire platforms, offering cyber takedowns for just €10. These platforms, including Cfxapi and zapcut, wreaked havoc on global schools, businesses, and gaming sites. It’s a reminder: when hiring online, maybe skip the “flood everything with malicious traffic” option!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Polish authorities decided to crash the party for the DDoS-for-hire kings! Who knew you could order a cyberattack with the same ease as a pizza and for the price of a fancy coffee? At this rate, these cybercriminals will need a “Get Out of Jail” service.
Key Points:
- Polish authorities nabbed four people behind six DDoS-for-hire platforms.
- The services offered cyberattacks for as low as €10.
- The platforms were involved in global attacks on various sectors.
- Operation PowerOFF is the global initiative fighting these services.
- International cooperation was key in these arrests.
