The story showed how the service made approximately $600,000 over just two of the four years it was in operation. That initial vDOS story was based on data shared by an anonymous source who had hacked vDOS and obtained its private user and attack database. The pair were detained within hours of being named in a story on this blog as the co-proprietors of the service (this site would later suffer a three-day outage as a result of an attack that was alleged to have been purchased in retribution for my reporting on vDOS). Last fall, two 18-year-old Israeli men were arrested for allegedly running a vDOS, perhaps the most successful booter service of all time. A new report proves the value of following the money in the fight against dodgy cybercrime services known as “booters” or “stressers” - virtual hired muscle that can be rented to knock nearly any website offline.
