Security researchers found a new DDoS-for-hire service built with leaked code. The 0x-booter is powered by the Bushido botnet, a fork of Mirai, researchers say. Running 300 DDoS attacks for the minimum price of $20 makes operators $6000, a pretty sum for less than half a month. The code for the service was based on that of a different service called Ninjaboot, whose code was leaked on hacking forums. The operators of the service advertised over 500Gbps of power and 20,000 bots.
