A 19-year-old man has been arrested in the Shetland Islands as part of an investigation into hacking groups, Anonymous and LulzSec.<\/p>\n

The man is suspected of using the online nickname Topiary and presenting himself as a spokesman for the groups.<\/p>\n

Both high-profile hacker groups are known for stealing and releasing private information from websites.<\/p>\n

Police are also searching a house in Lincolnshire and interviewing a 17-year-old boy under caution.<\/p>\n

Officers from the police’s Central e-Crime Unit arrested the teenager in what they describe as a “pre-planned intelligence-led operation”.<\/p>\n

A statement from the police says they believe he is linked to an ongoing international investigation into a number of cyber-attacks on international businesses and intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n

The man was arrested on Wednesday and is being taken to London while his home is searched.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Anonymous released secret documents stolen from an Italian cybercrime unit.<\/p>\n

Last month, LulzSec announced it was disbanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
