The FBI has seized control of 15 websites that let people pay to knock individuals and other sites offline.
The so-called booters sought to swamp targets with huge amounts of data in what are known as distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Three US men have been charged with allegedly offering DDoS services.
"DDoS-for-hire services such as these pose a significant national threat," US Attorney for Alaska Bryan Schroder said in a statement.
The FBI says more than 200,000 attacks have been launched via just one booter site.
Did the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) just paint a giant DDoS target on its back?

Would that be recursive ddos?
