Operation 'Power Off': BKA Dismantles Global DDoS Infrastructure (heise.de)

• Shutdown of global DDoS-for-hire platforms
• International coordination with Europol and law enforcement
• Enhanced protection of critical cyber infrastructure

"The German Federal Criminal Police (BKA) and the Frankfurt General Prosecutor's Office have successfully dismantled a network of 'stresser' services in an internationally coordinated operation. These platforms provided paid, easy access to large-scale DDoS attacks targeting critical infrastructure and corporate networks. By seizing infrastructure and arresting key operators, authorities have significantly hampered the 'DDoS-as-a-Service' criminal ecosystem, demonstrating effective cross-border cooperation in digital security enforcement."
