A 15-year-old boy in Northern Ireland has been arrested in connection with the TalkTalk security breach.

The Metropolitan Police said the boy, from County Antrim, was arrested at around 4:20pm today by officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences.

You Irish can be a bright lot at times, Psybbs. Has he made a bundle to look after his detention time....?

[vulcan42]

They should offer him a job.

Thanks Mick

In Northern Ireland Politics it is good to talk talk!

[DTCwordfan]

someone I know in the States was extradited from Canada on 10, 000 counts of hacking - how long did he serve in prison?

Zero - a big zero, four years working for the CIA and FBI and he now teaches Oracle to Oracle users - quite frankly, his mind is somewhere on the ceiling.

I've always wondered how many months did it take to read out the charge paper in court.....

[Psybbo]

Carib, pity they don't talk less and do more!

[jourdain2]

I agree with the idea of straightening him out and giving him a good job defending systems from hackers.

Like summit outa eastenders .didnt some kid of 4 lose a shed load of bets On who murdered some awful actress

[Caribeing]

Hi Psybbo all they seem to do is talk and without positive results!

[Tuvok]

Remember the chap Frank something that ended up wotking for the FBI!

[weecalf]

Drebin ?

[Tuvok]

Surely you can't be serious?


No - he was the chao that the film Catch Me If You Can was about.

[ichkeria]

Not really that surprising. It looked increasingly like the work of some kid hacker.
I bet Talk Talk are kicking themselves for over-dramatising the situation.
Not that it wasn't a potentially serious attack though even if not quite what was originally feared.

So what was all that about from Talktalk saying a ransom note having been received - and wasn't it supposed to have come from ISIS?

[Canary42]

Could still be ISIS - he wouldn't be the first immature kid to become beguiled by them

[mikey4444]

I am not in any way surprised that a 15 year old boy may be responsible for this. I am much, much old and wouldn't know where to start....I can't even tune in my Telly without the help of my 15 year old nephew !

Makes you proud to be British !

Tuvok, I think this is the chap you're talking about.
