Alleged vDOS Proprietors Arrested in Israel
Summary: Itay Huri and Yarden Bidani, both 18, were arrested in Israel on Thursday in connection with an FBI investigation into vDOS, a booter service that KrebsOnSecurity reported had earned more than $600,000 over two years coordinating over 150,000 DDoS attacks. The pair were questioned and released Friday on roughly $10,000 bond each, with passports seized, 10 days of house arrest, and a 30-day ban on Internet or telecommunications use.
Bottom line: The service's customer and target data spilled only because vDOS itself was hacked, and the attack logs CloudFlare agreed to host cover just April through July 2016 of an operation running since September 2012 - so the visible record of who was targeted is a small fraction of the whole.
