Dutch Police Shutter 15 DDoS ‘Booter’ Sites

Dutch police shut down 15 distributed denial-of-service booter sites over the course of a week. They also arrested a 19-year-old in connection with DDoS attacks on two government websites. Booters enable cybercriminals to rent out access to a network of hacked or infected computers and other devices to launch attacks that can overwhelm networks or websites. The sites were closed between April 6 and April 10, according to a statement from Dutch police. The takedown operation included the cybercrime team of the Central Netherlands Police as well as Interpol, Europol and the FBI.”]
