Three Hackers From Anonymous Arrested In Greece



Earlier this month Greece faced massive cyber attack from Anonymous and after investigation Greek police said they had arrested an 18-year-old suspected of hacking into the justice ministry's website. Also two other suspect aged 16 & 17 also being sought over the case.  In the February 2nd hackers from anonymous performed a cyber-attack on the Greek Ministry of Justice website, and warned of plans to target a further 300 ministry and media sites. The hack was apparently a protest against the Greek government's signing of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which is designed to reduce Internet piracy. After that Greek police confirmed via twitter that they have started investigation and all the countermeasures have been taken. Indeed the output is in-front of us, 3 teenagers from Greece are behind the bar. The authority also said- The three youths have been linked to dozens of cyber attacks against Greek websites, using the alias Greek Hacking Scene and the nicknames "delirium", "nikpa" and "extasy". Authority also confirmed that these teens may have to face 1 year of imprisonment.

This the second time of this year when hackers from Anonymous get busted by police. In January a 22 year aged student arrested in south-western Poland for allegedly hacking the prime minister's website and local authority said that he was a part of Hactivist Anonymous.
