16-Year-Old Kid Took Down MasterCard, Is Dutch, Arrested

According to some dude who speaks Dutch, Dutch police have made an arrest in the case of Operation Payback (loosely affiliated with internet hooligans Anonymous) and their attempts to bring down Mastercard, Visa, and Paypal for closing down their Wikileaks-related accounts. The villain behind the scheme is none other than one Some Dutch Teenager*.

We are clearly dealing with a wünderkind of the highest caliber. There is no way that MasterCard’s sophisticated website could possibly be victim to anyone but an elite group of h4x0rs.

Though, someone who actually knows what he’s talking about says otherwise.*

The Dutch boy commented: “l0l. J00 got pwned, newfags.”

*- The kid obviously did not act alone. Police have not ruled out the possibility of any other arrests.
