[quote=Naked Security]According to Dutch news reports, a 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the distributed denial-of-service attacks that have been launched against a number of websites this week, including MasterCard and PayPal. The attacks, which have made the headlines in the last couple of days, have seemingly been in support of the controversial WikiLeaks whistle-blowing site and its high profile founder Julian Assange. Details are very sketchy, but it is reported that the unnamed youth - who was arrested in The Hague - is in police custody and is being interrogated by detectives from the Dutch National High-Tech Crime Team. Computers have also been seized, and it appears that the authorities are not ruling out further arrests. Last night, Dutch broadcasters reported that the police visited the offices of LeaseWeb and EvoSwitch - two firms, believed to be providing internet services to the Anonymous group who have co-ordinated the attacks. Of course, it is highly unlikely that the attacks are coming from just one part of the world. As I said just earlier today, denial-of-service attacks are illegal - and you would be very foolish to participate in them, as the penalties can include lengthy jail sentences.[/quote] This is on De wereld draait door (Dutch TV program) right now.

Sounds like he didn't get the "anonymous" part of Anon.
PFFT! Haha! One down, several thousand to go.
seeya!
Good. Little shits deserve it.
Now everyone will be afraid to ddos so
Ha, if I did that here in south africa, the police wouldn't even know what the fuck a DDoS was, let alone know how to find my IP. They would probably just shoot me. :ohdear:
Terrorist!

Should of deleted LOIC and claimed to be apart of a botnet.
Not so anonymous now huh
I don't often laugh at news headlines, but I enjoyed this one greatly.
Hopefully this will scare some of them away, I'm all for Wikileaks but this DDoS attacks are retarded, they make Wikileaks look like the bad guys.
lol great god what an idiot
Taking a site down for 1 day is not really a big achievement. I don't understand why they did that.
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;26586913]Hopefully this will scare some of them away, I'm all for Wikileaks but this DDoS attacks are retarded, they make Wikileaks look like the bad guys.[/QUOTE] Indeed, this only puts water on the mills of critics, that their actions are dangerous and they support anarchism. Don't forget about Julian Assange and Bradley Mannings, I hope both of them get released from prison soon. This however won't help them.
and that , good friends , is why rules 1 and 2 exsist
For some reason imagining him drinking chocolate milk is kind of menacing.

I hope the anonymous wins and all the sites fail and Assange will be released and the wikileaks bank accounts are activated again. [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] Haters gonna hate
He knew what he was doing. But the last thing he would expect is getting arrested.
Good. The DDoS attacks make Wikileaks look worse than they are already portrayed.
Its probably a false story just to scare people into not helping the anons out of the Ddos attacks.
