UK police have arrested a teenager suspected of being a central figure in the infamous LulzSec hacking crew.
The unnamed 19 year-old allegedly had been acting as a spokesman of both LulzSec and Anonymous, using the online handle Topiary. He was arrested at a residential address in the Shetland Islands earlier today and transported to central London for questioning.
The "pre-planned intelligence-led operation" is part of the Met Police Police Central e-Crime Unit's investigation into DDoS attacks against international businesses and police agencies.
A 17 year-old from Lincolnshire was also interviewed under caution by police as part of the same investigation. His home was searched but no arrest was made.
