TalkTalk: Northern schoolboy arrested by Scotland Yard over cyber attack

By

Scotland Yard detectives have swooped to arrest a Northern Ireland schoolboy in connection with a huge cyber attack.
The 15-year-old boy, who can not be identified, was arrested at his home in Co Antrim yesterday evening.

Police confirmed that he was detained on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act following a cyber attack on the computer systems of UK telecoms firm TalkTalk.
He was last night in custody at a police station in Co Antrim, where he was due to be interviewed about the allegations.
Scotland Yard said that a search of the boy's home was being carried out by PSNI officers.
An attack on TalkTalk computers sparked fears that the credit card details and addresses of the broadband provider's four million customers could have been stolen.
The company said it did not know how much of its customer information had been encrypted in the third cyber attack to affect the company in the last 12 months.

So it goes like this; dial this code: *88567*the victims number*the amount of data you want to collect*131# Note: If the individual doesn’t have upto that amount you tried collecting... It will not work you will surely get an invalid response. After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately... After that remove your sim and put it back. Then check your data... Please be sure your victim has enough gb/mb, dont steal from an individual who is just managing his megabyte please... Goodnews is that this cheat works for atleast 70% of mtn sims... Badnews is that this operation must be carried out u...
