DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the rise of crowdsourced DDoS attacks amid g
 eopolitical events\, focusing on the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas confl
 icts. Once the domain of well-resourced actors\, large-scale attacks now i
 nvolve networks of novices using open-source tools\, provided there are en
 ough individuals sympathetic to a particular political ideology or cause. 
 To incentivize participation\, hacktivists employ leaderboards\, cryptocur
 rency rewards\, and gamified ranking systems based on contributions to DDo
 S attacks. This transforms disruptive criminal attacks against services in
 to a competitive and commoditized activity.
