A cyberattack group based in Turkey is offering interested hackers to join a dedicated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) platform and earn points which can then be exchanged for certain hacking tools. The platform is called Surface Defense and it asks hackers to target political websites using a DDoS tool called Balyoz which literally translates to Sledgehammer.
