Lizard Squad has now become famous for its distributed denial of
service or DDoS attacks on popular online gaming services like
PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The most recent attack was over
Christmas when both services were knocked down by a couple of days by
simply flooding the servers with artificial traffic. That attack may
very well have been a marketing ploy for Lizard Squad’s new DDoS tool
which for a small price per month lets anyone launch similar attacks
themselves.
AS PER THE OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION PAGE “THIS BOOTER IS
FAMOUS FOR TAKING DOWN SOME OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST GAMING NETWORKS,”
CLEARLY LIZARD SQUAD IS HIGHLIGHTING ITS ACHIEVEMENTS WHEN TRYING TO
SELL LIZARD STRESSER.
Dubbed
LizardStresser, the service is available in various packages, ranging
from $6 to $500, depending on the length of attack, and allows you to
launch DDoS attacks on any website or internet service of your
choice.Budding cyberattackers can choose from eight available packages
that start from $5.99 per month, this takes down a website for 100
seconds, to the most expensive package that costs $129.99 per month and
promises to take down a site for more than eight hours.
The service currently only accepts Bitcoin, although the group says
PayPal support is “coming soon.” According to Gizmodo, the payment
system doesn’t work with VPNs, making it difficult for potential users
to hide their identity and location.
