A teenager has been arrested in a joint Scotland Yard and FBI investigation into the hacking of websites.

The 19-year-old man was held during a raid at a house in Wickford, Essex.

On Monday the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) took 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.

The raid in Essex had been a "pre-planned, intelligence-led" operation, it said.

The teenager was arrested under the Computer Misuse Act and Fraud Act and is being questioned at a central London police station.

He was arrested by the Metropolitan Police's e-crime unit.


Been a busy little ******* if you look at the timeline. Can't wait to see what medical condition they come up with this time to try and fight America's inevitable demand for extradition.

Thread title is misleading. Arrested for hacking CIA and Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency. Not for the Sony hack.
