Operation PowerOFF, an international law enforcement action, seized 53 domains linked to DDoS-for-hire services used by over 75,000 cybercriminals. Authorities arrested four suspects and dismantled infrastructure supporting these services, which enabled distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The operation uncovered databases containing data on more than 3 million criminal user accounts associated with the seized domains. No specific dates or technical details such as CVE IDs were provided in the report. The impact included disrupting DDoS-for-hire platforms and exposing a large-scale criminal network.
