Deepsy Arrested

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Internet porn purveyors can pant a little easier now. The hacker who allegedly tried to extort money from triple-X webmasters has been arrested in Israel.

Earlier this summer, a hacker with the alias Deepsy demanded $1,500 each from at least three online smut-selling firms. If the companies refused to pay, he warned, he'd crash their Internet operations with distributed denial-of-service attacks. One site took as many as 745 million hits per day during what was believed to be a Deepsy-coordinated assault.
