A developer built KillSwitch, a stack-based esoteric programming language meant to be difficult for AI coding assistants to parse or write correctly.

An international law enforcement operation named Operation KillSwitch seized KillSec's dark web leak site and five servers, including its main infrastructure and data-storage systems. German authorities led the investigation into roughly 1,000 suspected attacks worldwide, resulting in three provisional arrests and eight property searches across Greece, Romania, Spain and the UK, with a 16-year-old identified as the group's suspected administrator.
