One more Dutch teenager arrested for WikiLeaks-related DDoS attacks!

Police in the Netherlands arrest a second teenager in relation to the pro-WikiLeaks distributed denial-of-service attacks seen earlier this week. The 19-year-old, from Hoogezand-Sappemeer, in the north east of the Netherlands, flooded the prosecutor’s website with internet traffic. The DDoS attack software being used did not hide the IP address of the computer involved, making it easy for high-tech crime cops to identify where the attack was coming from. The Netherlands can result in a maximum sentence of six years in jail.
