Feds continue takedowns of DDoS-for-hire ‘booter’ sites

U.S. law enforcement has seized 13 more internet domains that hosted “booter” services for attacking websites, prosecutors said Monday, and four people arrested in a previous sweep have pleaded guilty to related charges. It’s the Department of Justice’s third wave of seizures of booter domains, which allow paying customers to launch powerful distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)
