Computers seized after millions of cyber attacks

Two men from Lanarkshire have been arrested after an international investigation into global cyber attacks.

The men were arrested in connection with offences under the Computer Misuse Act.

It follows the closure of a website linked to more than four million cyber attacks including those targeting some of the UK’s biggest banks.

Authorities in the Netherlands, Serbia, Croatia and Canada, with support from Police Scotland and Europol, targeted six members of the crime group behind webstresser.org on Tuesday.

Dutch police seized servers and took down the website at 11.30am yesterday.
