The U.S. Department of Justice, with court authorization, has seized the domains nightmare-stresser[.]com and nightmarestresser[.]org, which were operated as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)-for-hire service known as NightmareStresser.

The action aims to disrupt a service that facilitated numerous DDoS attacks, though the exact number of affected incidents remains unconfirmed.
