Operation PowerOFF Seizes 53 DDoS Domains, Exposes 3 Million Criminal Accounts

Operation PowerOFF is an international law enforcement operation that successfully seized 53 DDoS-for-hire domains and arrested four individuals. These commercial DDoS platforms were exploited by over 75,000 cybercriminals to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks. The operation disrupted the technical infrastructure supporting these booter/stresser services, which are frequently used to target businesses, government agencies, and critical infrastructure. Authorities also obtained access to databases containing approximately 3 million criminal user accounts. This operation demonstrates ongoing international cooperation in combating cybercrime-as-a-service and disrupting the tools that enable threat actors to conduct disruptive attacks without technical expertise.
