NightmareStresser Goes Offline in Global DDoS-for-Hire Crackdown
The DOJ seized NightmareStresser domains, a DDoS-for-hire service behind hundreds of thousands of attacks since 2022, as part of Operation PowerOFF.
The US Department of Justice announced the court-authorized seizure of internet domains behind NightmareStresser, a booter service allegedly used to launch hundreds of thousands of actual or attempted DDoS attacks worldwide since 2022. The action, announced from the District of Alaska with FBI Anchorage and Royal Canadian Mounted Police support, is part of Operation PowerOFF, which previously took down 53 domains across 21 countries in April and 27 booter sites in December 2024. Over the past eight years, prosecutors have charged twelve defendants and seized more than 100 domains tied to DDoS-for-hire services.
