Irish boy, 15, arrested over TalkTalk cyber attack

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in the North in connection with a cyber attack on the website of telecoms company TalkTalk.

The arrest is the first major development since the company said last week it had been hacked, prompting warnings that bank details and personal information of four million customers may have been accessed.

The boy was arrested at an address in Co Antrim on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences yesterday.
