The news comes a day after the announcement by Lizard Stresser Lizard Squad, one tool, which will allow anyone to launch DDoS attack networks for $ 6 or more.
In a release on Wednesday, security expert Brian Krebs criticized the technical capabilities of the team, arguing that the Lizard Stresser's source code had been stolen by another similar tool called titanium stresser. The team responded by posting offensive tweets for Krebs.
