Imagine your website crashing in the middle of your biggest sales day. Now imagine that crash was no accident – it was a calculated, high-volume DDoS attack, flooding your servers with traffic and leaving your business offline, helpless, and hemorrhaging revenue. 

The cyber threat landscape never sleeps—and neither do the adversaries behind it. In an era where most botnets are Linux-based and heavily target IoT devices, a new breed of malware has emerged, shifting the paradigm of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Known as HTTPBot, this new Windows-based botnet is engineered with precision and built to disrupt operations where it hurts most: in high-value, real-time digital interfaces. 

Imagine paying just €10 to knock an entire website offline.
No hacking knowledge required. No secret chatrooms. Just a simple, user-friendly web portal.
This wasn’t fiction—it was the reality of the growing DDoS-for-hire underworld.
