Norway- Boy, 16, bailed over TalkTalk hacking attack


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) A 16-year-old boy arrested in Norwich in connection with an alleged data theft from TalkTalk has been released on bail until March.

He was held on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences after officers searched a property in the city, BBC said.

Police have also arrested and bailed a 16-year-old from London, a 15-year-old boy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and a man, 20, from Staffordshire.
