Police are now on the lookout for WebStresser users

 

  
  • Customers of former DDoS-for-hire site WebStresser are now chased by police and law enforcement agencies.
  • WebStresser was seized by authorities from the US, UK, and the Netherlands in April 2018.
Users registered on WebStresser are in for a bad ride as police authorities plan to track those who conducted small-scale DDoS attacks. The popular DDoS-for-hire site was shut down in April 2018 after authorities found that the site was responsible for over four million attacks in a span of three years.
“In the United Kingdom, a number of webstresser.org users have recently been visited by the police, who have seized over 60 personal electronic devices from them for analysis as part of Operation Power OFF. UK police are also conducting a number of live operations against other DDoS criminals; over 250 users of webstresser.org and other DDoS services will soon face action for the damage they have caused.” said a press release by Europol.
Cease and desist letters are also being issued. Around 400registered users are currently being investigated by NCA.
Banishing DDoS-For-Hire websites
Law enforcement agencies are aggressively pursuing other DDoS offering sites. In December 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) took down sites such as Downthem and Quantum Stresser, which surfaced in the previous year. Romanian police also cracked down on a few small DDoS platforms and have uncovered information about their user base.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Review

Take a look at a modern, digital camera today, and you’ll probably find it uses an SD card in order to save information.
