[URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22314938[/URL] [QUOTE][B]Spanish police have arrested a Dutchman suspected of being behind one of the biggest ever web attacks.[/B] The 35 year-old-man was detained in Barcelona following a request from the Dutch public prosecutor. The attack bombarded the websites of anti-junk mail outfit Spamhaus with huge amounts of data in an attempt to knock them offline. It also slowed data flows over closely linked networks and led to a massive police investigation. The man arrested is believed to be Sven Kamphuis, the owner and manager of Dutch hosting firm Cyberbunker that has been implicated in the attack. "Spamhaus is delighted at the news that an individual has been arrested and is grateful to the Dutch police for the resources they have made available and the way they have worked with us," said a Spamhaus spokesman.

The cops didn't find him because of their elite counter hacking skill or some shit. They locked him up because the attack was obviously caused by a feud between Spamhaus and Cyberbunker, therefore, the ownership is most likely responsible.
Ah ha! They caught the bastard. picture of suspect [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110919170009/deusex/en/images/thumb/7/73/Vanbruggenbust.png/250px-Vanbruggenbust.png[/img]
