NightmareStresser Goes Offline in Global DDoS-for-Hire Crackdown
Brief
The DOJ seized domains behind NightmareStresser, a DDoS-for-hire service tied to hundreds of thousands of attacks since 2022, as part of Operation PowerOFF.
Renting a DDoS attack used to be as easy as renting a movie. Pick a target, pay a few dollars, watch the site go dark. The Justice Department just made that a little harder by seizing the domains behind NightmareStresser, one of the longest-running services in that business.
“The Justice Department today announced the court-authorized seizure of internet domains associated with one of the world’s longest running Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) for-hire services known as “NightmareStresser.” ” states DoJ .
