Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI announced that they seized three domains selling compromised personal information and launching cyber assaults on victim networks.

The specific domains seized were weleakinfo.to, ipstress.in, and ovh-booter.com — the first of which allowed its users to traffic compromised personal data and offered a searchable database containing illegally amassed information obtained from over 10,000 data breaches. The other two domains offered DDoS-for-hire services to their users.
