The Soca website was taken offline by an apparent denial of service attack Related Stories
A 19-year-old man has been arrested in Wickford, Essex, in connection with the hacking of websites.
On Monday the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) was forced to take its website offline after it was attacked by Lulz Security hackers.
Scotland Yard would not confirm the arrest was connected but did say that it followed a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
Tuesday’s raid was a “pre-planned, intelligence-led” operation, it said.
