Dutch authorities issue a statement saying a 16 year old boy has been taken into custody for involvement in attacks against Mastercard and Visa. The boy, who was not named, was due to be arraigned by a judge in Rotterdam on Friday. The arrest is the first known action taken against online activists who have taken up arms against individuals and organizations that are perceived as acting against the whistle blower Web site Wikileaks. An investigation of that larger group is under way and computer hardware was seized in the arrest.
