Crime agencies shut down crime service site

"A website linked to more than four million cyberattacks worldwide has been shut down following investigations by the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Dutch National Police.

Part of the so-called crime as a service trend, cybercriminals have used the site to launch DDOS attacks, including attacks against seven of the UK's biggest banks in November 2017, NCA officers believe."
