(KUNA) -- A 16-year-old boy has been set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in Britannia on suspicion of cybercrime, police said here Wednesday.The teenager was set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock at a south London address yesterday and taken to a central London cop shoppe, where he remains in jug, the police said.
He was held on suspicion of breaching the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
The Metropolitan Police is liaising with the FBI and authorities in the Netherlands, a police front man added.
It is understood that he is suspected of being connected with hacking group "Anonymous".
It came as 14 people were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in the US for allegedly mounting a cyberattack on PayPal's website in retaliation for suspending the accounts of WikiLeaks.
The attacks on the online payment specialist by the group Anonymous followed the release by whistleblowing website WikiLeaks in November of thousands of classified US State Department cables.
Anonymous, a loosely-organised group of hackers sympathetic to WikiLeaks, has grabbed credit for attacks against corporate and government websites all over the world.
The group also claims to have disrupted the websites of Visa and MasterCard in December when the credit card companies stopped processing donations to WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange.
The 14 allegedly involved in the PayPal attack were charged in US District Court in San Jose, Caliphornia, and were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in Alabama, Arizona, Caliphornia, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico and Ohio.

FBI agents executed more than 35 search warrants around the country in an continuing investigation into co-ordinated cyberattacks against major companies and organizations. There were two arrests in the United States unrelated to the PayPal attack and four arrests by the Dutch National Police Agency.
The London suspect is the second British teenager to be set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock over allegations of cybercrime in recent weeks.
Last month Ryan Cleary was jugged and accused of attempting to hack into the website of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).
Cleary, 19, who is accused of taking part in a conspiracy to attack sites including those of Soca and the British Phonographic Industry, is currently on conditional bail.
