In the digital world we live in, people use the internet for almost everything, from shopping and learning to connecting with friends and family. It’s important that when we use the web, it’s safe and secure. Unfortunately, some people use the power of the internet to cause trouble and harm others by using something called a DDoS attack. This kind of attack stops websites from working by overwhelming them with a flood of internet traffic.
Recently, there was a big win for the good guys who fight to keep the internet safe. An international effort named PowerOFF brought together law enforcement from different countries to take down a network of people who were making money by offering DDoS attacks-for-hire. This means they were selling the service of attacking websites to anyone who wanted to harm or shut down a website, which is definitely not cool.
Thanks to their hard work, three individuals were arrested, and 27 websites that were helping these attacks happen were shut down. The operation was a big step toward making the internet a safer place for all of us.
