Black hat hacker Cryptolulz666 is back targeting government websites to demonstrate that it is very simple for hackers to bring down them with DDoS attacks. Yesterday he launched a DDoS attack against the website http://italiastartupvisa.gov. It was just testing his own botnet, then later he targeted the website of the Russian Federal Drug Control Service liquidation commission. The Russian website was down for several hours. The hacker scanned roughly 10 % of the Internet searching for potential bots to use in the attack and he found 2 million bots.”]
