A teenager was arrested today in Northern Ireland for attack to the telephone company talktalk on United Kingdom last week, according to a a statement by the Metropolitan Police.
The 15-year-old boy was arrested around 16: 00 local time as a suspected computer misconduct and was taken to County Antrim Police Station for questioning.
The arrest comes after its revelation Talk It Infected, saying that a “person or group purporting to be the hacker» είχε ζητήσει £ 80,000, ή περίπου $122.000 σε Bitcoin ως ransom in order not to leak the stolen information.
A hacker who claims to represent LulzSec has taken responsibility for the DDoS attack on TalkTalk last week, but not for stolen user information as well as blackmail.
It's not entirely clear exactly which attack the arrest relates to, DDoS or theft.
