A 19-year-old teenager in Essex, England has been arrested in connection with a denial of service attack from LulzSec. Scotland Yard is also examining any relation to the Sony PSN attack.

Develop reports that the suspect was arrested specifically regarding a denial of service attack on the Serious Organized Crime Agency website, which LulzSec seemingly bragged about in a tweet.

Scotland Yard is also investigating whether this person had any ties to the PSN attack. The agency says it is currently sifting through "a significant amount of material" found at the hacker's residence.
