World largest cyberattack suspect arrested in Spain

Statement from Spain Police say they have finally arrested the man behind what is believe to be the biggest cyberattack in internet history. The 35-year-old Dutch man was arrested on Thursday in the city of Granollers, north of Barcelona, Spain, in compliance with the directives on an European arrest warrant issued by Dutch judicial authorities .
Last month cyberattack, which was launched from Spain, affected internet service in the Netherlands, UK and the U.S. What led to the cyberattack was a feud between spam fighting group, Spamhaus and those group(Spammers) who sends junk mails(spam) to peoples in inboxes. Spamhaus periodically published the names of the servers those Spammers uses. Don't be surprise, Spamhaus has destroyed innocent websites in the past. It can shutdown a website without court order.
Meanwhile, Police say the Dutch man does most of his sophisticated attacks in his van, and even host interviews with international media firms there.
