The man suspected of participating in a large DDoS attack on an antispam organization that caused intermittent Internet hiccups drove around Spain in a van he used as a mobile office, Spain's Interior Ministry said Sunday.

The van was equipped with "various antennas" that were used to scan frequencies, the ministry said in a news release. On Thursday, Spanish police arrested a 35-year-old Dutch man in Barcelona suspected of conducting cyberattacks against Spamhaus, a nonprofit group that develops widely used lists of networks identified as sending spam.

Spanish police published a video of a sparse residence they raided. Images showed the room was strewn with wires and computer equipment, including routers, a Mac Mini computer, laptops, an antennae and a single cot with the book "Quicksilver" by Neal Stephenson on it. Also shown were several rubber stamps, two of which were emblazoned "NATO secret" and "NATO unclassified."
