Dutch government takes legal action against DDoS attacker
The Dutch government is to launch legal proceedings against a suspected hacker accused of recently disabling several government websites for four days through a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, the ICTU - the government agency that oversees information and communication technology in the public sector - has reported.
The suspect is an 18-year old youth, and a possible member of the "0x1fe Crew", a group of around 15 hackers protesting recent cabinet decisions.
