Police arrested a 15-year-old boy in Northern Ireland on Monday over a cyber attack that may have led to the theft of data from among the 4 million customers of British broadband provider TalkTalk . A ransom demand was received by TalkTalk on Friday. “A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences,” London's Metropolitan Police, whose cyber-crime unit has been investigating the attack, said.
