“LulzSec suspect” arrested in Scotland Yard, FBI swoop
The Met issued a press release today, saying, “The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group.
“The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act, and Fraud Act offences and was taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains in custody for questioning.
“Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing.”
The PCeU was assisted by officers from Essex Police and have been working in co-operation with the FBI.
The LulzSec hacking group has recently been responsible for bring down EVE Online, League of Legends and other games-related services and companies, as well as apparently hacking the CIA and, only this morning, the UK Census.
LulzSec’s action are merely the latest in a year plagued by covert web activity against games firms, with the coup de grâce being an intrusion into PSN’s data in April that took the service offline for a month.
