Two arrests over Scotland Yard terror line hack
Published: 12th Apr 2012 23:49:41
Two teenage boys have been arrested in connection with an investigation into reports that hackers accessed Scotland Yard's anti-terror hotline.
The Met Police said officers arrested the 16 and 17 year olds in the West Midlands.
Earlier it had denied claims the confidential hotline had been hacked.
Hackers Team Poison posted recordings online to YouTube, which apparently show them speaking to the hotline, plus officers discussing operations.
The teenagers were arrested on suspicion of offences under the Malicious Communications Act and the Computer Misuse Act.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said the pair, who were arrested by detectives specialising in e-crime, remain in custody in the West Midlands.
