DDoS-for-Hire Service Launches Mobile App
Summary: A mobile version of the DDoS-for-hire service Ragebooter was listed for sale on the Google Play store on Oct. 6, weeks after its owner Justin D. Poland made parole following a two-year sentence for possessing child pornography. Ragebooter's site claims the service has conducted more than 310,000 DDoS attacks, with memberships sold from $3 per day to $300 a year for an enterprise plan, and the FBI issued an October advisory warning that booter and stresser use is punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Key Takeaway: A DDoS-for-hire tool that claims 310,000 attacks reached a mainstream app store at $3 a day, putting attack capability in front of anyone with a phone, and the FBI's own advisory says using it can bring arrest and prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
