Report: UK police arrest Lizard Squad member

4.5
UK police have reportedly arrested a Lizard Squad member Vinnie Omari on Monday. Lizard Squad is notoriously known for the DDoS attacks on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Omari was not arrested for the attacks on Xbox Live and PSN, but for stealing from PayPal accounts.

Lizard Squad has not said much on the recent arrest of the member, but has made fun of a security guru, Brian Krebs, who tweeted out a copy of the bail notice.

This arrest comes after Finnish police caught another Lizard Squad member nicknamed "Ryan Clearly."

Here is the tweet from Brian Krebs

MDA How was he caught? Didn't he hide his identity like all those cybercriminals do?


He probably did some foolish amateur mistake. Usually how these guys end up getting caught.


It is not hard at all to DDOS, but the biggest thing is hiding your tracks.


Unless you proxy bounce in multiple spots, while using someone elses internet to begin with, then all you need is a resolver, then, IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAHR!!!
