Dutch authorities arrest a 16-year-old boy in relation to the cyberattacks against Visa, MasterCard and PayPal. The attacks were aimed at punishing those companies for cutting off services to WikiLeaks. The boy, whose computer equipment was seized, has allegedly confessed to taking part in the attacks. The Public Prosecution Service said he is likely part of a larger group of hackers. The arrest follows a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks aimed at websites that have been critical of WikiLeaks.”]
