Finnish KRP Questions Suspected Lizard Squad Member

An anonymous reader writes Coming on the heels of the UK arrest of Vinnie Omari, Yle reports that Finnish police have interviewed "Ryan", the Finland-based hacker reportedly responsible for hacking the PlayStation and Xbox networks on Christmas day, but have not arrested him — contrary to reports in the international media (such as Washington Post). Lizard Squad had tweeted that the Finland-based hacker had been detained. Chief Inspector Tero Muurman of Keskusrikospoliisi (Finnish National Bureau of Investigation) confirmed Yle that reports of "Ryan" having been detained were wide of the mark. He had been interviewed at the start of the week, but then released. Finnish police are continuing their probe and co-operating closely with the FBI.

    ... the stupid little cunt turns 18 while the investigation is ongoing and they can throw his loser backside in prison until he's worked enough hours in the prison laundry - or done enough "favours" for Big Brian - that he can payback for some of the damage he's done.

    I'm honestly sick of these script kiddies thinking they can inflict their "fun" on everyone else, its really about time a *serious* example was made of some of them.
