Teenager arrested on suspicion of hacking

[dipsydoodle]

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in Wickford, Essex, in connection with the hacking of websites.

On Monday the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) was forced to take its website offline after it was attacked by Lulz Security hackers.

Scotland Yard would not confirm the arrest was connected but did say that it followed a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

Tuesday's raid was a "pre-planned, intelligence-led" operation, it said.

3. The Register?

Usually very reliable even if they do have some stupid writers producing about the economy and climate change (they're right-leaning libertarian) but on tech issues they're probably the most well-informed & reliable news website in the UK.
