Metropolitan Police in the UK have arrested a teenager in connection
with the recent wave of website hacking, and believe there may be a link
between the suspect and the recent PSN attack.

The unnamed 19-year-old male from Wickford, Essex, has been arrested for
alleged Computer Misuse Act and Fraud Act offences, and is currently
being held at a central London police station. Police said that there is
a link between the arrested individual and hacking group LulzSec.

Although the suspect has been specifically arrested in connection with
the DDOS attack on the Serious Organised Crime Agency website, a spokesperson for the Met Police told news site Develop that he was also being questioned regarding the recent PlayStation Network breach, which saw data from over 77 million PSN accounts compromised.

"We will examine the individual for any Sony data," said the
spokesperson. Scotland Yard said that "a significant amount of material"
found at the suspect's home will be examined.

Last week, Lulzsec claimed responsibility for cyber attacks on services for online games Minecraft from Mojang and CCP's EVE Online, as well as popular gaming website The Escapist.

UK Teenager Arrested In Connection With Recent Cyber Attacks Jail-cell

Shhh. You hear that? It sounds like laughter. Lulzing, in fact. Could it be Ryan Cleary's future cellmate? Who's Ryan Cleary, you say? According to a news blurb
at PC Gamer, he's the 19-year old chap recently taken into custody by
the FBI and Scotland Yard and accused of spear-heading the
LulzSec-sponsored DDoS attacks against EVE Online, Nintendo, the United States Senate, and the Central Intelligence Agency, to name a few.

Cleary is rumored to be a former member of Anonymous, and a Scotland
Yard spokesperson says that the arrest was the result of an extensive
and ongoing probe into the rash of cyber-crimes perpetuated over the
last several months. "The arrest follows an investigation into
network intrusions and distributed denial of service attacks against a
number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is
believed to be the same hacking group
," PC Gamer reports.

Remaining LulzSec luminaries are seemingly unconcerned, if a message posted to the group's Twitter account earlier today is any indication. "Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now... wait... we're all still here," the message said.
