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.

I am a TECHNO-ANARCHIST
I plot the downfall of governments through my computer, because I am a TECHNO-ANARCHIST. I have online conversations with my friends, where we communicate exclusively in leet speak because we are all TECHNO-ANARCHISTS. Governments and corporations tremble at our feet because of all the online horrors we may inflict upon them, using our TECHNO-ANARCHIST tools.
And if I am caught by the government, I shall get me an Ass Burgers diagnosis, sell out all my friends, then hide behind mummy's apron strings until the bad men have gone away, for I am a TECHNO-ANARCHIST.
For the Lulz
Heh. Makes me wonder how well the defense "I was just doing it for the lulz." will go over once he is hauled before the beak...
