Spain Arrests Five Prolific Hackers
May 19, 2008 | by Christopher Nickson
Spain has announced the arrest of five hackers said to be responsible for attacks on over 21,000 web pages and more over two years.
Back in March, hackers shut down the site of one of Spain’s political parties following an election. The Spanish police began to investigate, and last week announced they’d arrested the culprits, the BBC has reported.
They’ve been accused not only of the Spanish crime, but also with attacking government sites in Asia, Latin America and the US.
Among the fives, who were arrested in Barcelona, Burgos, Malaga and Valencia, were two 16-year-olds.
