Wikileaks DDoS Attacker Arrested, Equipment Seized

kaptink writes "The self proclaimed hacker that waged a DDoS attack on Wikileaks has been arrested and has had all his equipment seized. What is interesting is that local police conducted the raid and not a federal authority such as the FBI. The Jester (th3j35t3r) who has a reputation for attacking websites he disagrees with is said to be trying to raise $10,000 in expected lawyers fees. If anyone is going to be alight in the whole Wikileaks debacle, its going to be the lawyers. Personally I think anyone who spells their nick with numbers in an effort to look 'leet' deserves to have their computer confiscated."

    A nick name like "th3j35t3r" is so unbelievably lame.

    It clearly should be "7h3j3573r".

    Let me allay any doubts.

    Besides all you need to get a name without numbers is be good at mispelling things.

      You left off the required #!/usr/bin/perl at the start.

    which makes locating and arresting him about as hard for a cop as scratching his own nuts.
    Hey, you try scratching your nuts when you have a donut in one hand and a coffee in the other... you get some strange looks if you start scratching against furniture.

    Careful - these are IT types your talking to.
