Third arrest in TalkTalk data breach

Posted on October 31, 2015 by Dissent

Levi Winchester and Nick Gutteridge report that a 20-year old man from Staffordshire has become the third person arrested in connection to the TalkTalk breach. It’s not clear from the reporting whether either or both of the two teens previously arrested provided information to the Metropolitan Police that led to this arrest. Read more on The Express.

The BBC, in its coverage, notes:

Police confirmed that officers have also carried out a search at a residential property in Liverpool in connection with the “significant and sustained” attack on its website on 21 October.
