Boy, 15, arrested in Northern Ireland over TalkTalk cyber-attack

Metropolitan police say a 15-year-old boy has been arrested in County Antrim over the hacking of the telecoms company TalkTalk

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in Northern Ireland in connection with the cyber-attack on TalkTalk's website.

The arrest is the first major development since the phone and broadband provider said last week it had been hacked, prompting warnings from the company that the bank details and personal information of its four million customers may have been accessed.
