DDoS for hire
GTFO
Opsec is not the strongest for most of cybercriminals. Usually trace back to the childhood when cracking activity started leads perpetrators to jail. Breadcrumbs. Follow the money. Dns history. Emails. Cockiness.
Old news
Are DDoS attacks still an issue?
Feel like I haven't heard of any big ones in forever, and I'm guessing even smaller websites are using things like Cloudflare or their provider's anti-DDoS services
Yes, it's just that DDoS mitigation is so much more accessible and affordable now for end users.
An issue? Not really, DDoS mitigation is so widely available it won't hurt much. Annoying? Maybe, depends on who you ask. They do eat bandwidth though, so volume filtering these days is a must for any provider in my opinion. Unfortunately it's still relatively cheap for people to do volumetric flooding, like this we received the other day:
Sure, it's not much, but if your host only has, say a 10Gbps circuit, they're toast with that flood in volume.
(Side-note: You can tell they're using a time-limited booter when it's almost 1/2/3/4/5min exactly, maybe 10 minutes exactly.)
Ddos as a flood attack is long time not popular. But, ddos as a tool for probe for vulns are a real pita.
What are you talking about? Seizing a domain just requires a court order.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Saarrrrr, https://www.ddosforhi.re/
amazing domain.
You have problems with understanding text. Sorry, no discussions with you until improved.
The person behind the service was also arrested. So OpSec is relevant here.
Remind me of the Breach forum shenanigans that had reincarnation multiple times and still got arrested.
