Ticked off that you couldn’t play with your new device at Christmas because of the DDoS attack on Sony and Microsoft?
You might get some pleasure out of knowing that two of the members of the Lizard Squad, who claimed responsibility for the hack, have been arrested.
The first arrest was reported by Brian Krebs, who writes about security matters on his website Krebs On Security. On Monday, he posted a bail document for one Vinnie Omari, a 22-year-old from Britain who is allegedly part of Lizard Squad. The police raided Omari's home on Monday and took his computers for evidence, though Omari is out on bail until his hearing in March.
Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) picked up another alleged member of Lizard Squad later in the week. The 17-year-old, known as "Ryan," acted as spokesperson for the group in the aftermath of the Christmas attacks. He remains in jail.
