The FBI has a 19-year-old from Leiden, boy arrested for carrying and selling of DDoS attacks. The Dutchman is caught because he is at Twitter, logged in via the KPN-connection of his Leiden home address.
The FBI got the Dutchman in the visor during an investigation into Phonebomber, a website where you for 20 dollar per month people can stalk them every hour to make calls by a computer. One of the victims was a month long, every hour, called and got each time a recorded death threat to hear it.
The 19-year-old artist from leiden, Bradley Jan Willem van R. is together with the also 19-year-old American Zachary B., accused of the setting up of this service. Both teens had Twitter accounts that opschepten about the service: @UchihaLS (R.) and @fbiarelosers (B.).
Own Denial-of-service
The Dutchman, and American are also suspected of selling and executing DDoS-attacks, which they, among others, the web service of a large gamebedrijf would have been flattened. After a successful attack places the boys messages about it on Twitter.

in Addition to the selling DDoS attacks were also stolen credit card information sold through the site.
Private ip address
The American tried its ip address to conceal through Tor and a VPN – both services are to your ip address hide – in to convert. That worked pretty well, until the FBI the phone number of his Twitter account analyzed. It led to a phone number of AT&T, which was linked to the address of Zachary B.
The Dutch Father, Jan Willem van R. was a lot easy to find: he logged in to both Twitter if account linked e-mail address ([email protected]) with the ip address of his home address. The FBI asked, via the Dutch police, KPN on who is behind the ip address was.
Copy of passport
The search for the Dutchman was still a piece is made easy because Bradley Jan Willem van R. an e-mail to himself had sent a copy of his passport. Also found the FBI between his e-mails a bank statement with their home address on it.
The house of the Dutchman standing next to a police station
Also sent the Dutch suspect via a Twitter direct message to the above photo to Zachary B., with the joke that “the FBI followed him and sat’. The photo is from the parking lot of a police station next to his house. The address that KPN handed also appears next to a police station.
Arrested
The ip addresses that are linked to Bradley Jan Willem, of R. and Zachary B. are also to be found in the logs of the DDoS websites. The FBI has two men, both of this month arrested on suspicion of, among other things, the execution and facilitation of DDoS attacks. The arrest of the Dutchman is carried out by the Dutch police.
The maximumstaf for the perpetration of this form of cyber crime is ten years. Zachary B. is today for the court, Bradley Jan Willem van R. remains in custody and awaits the verdict of a Dutch court, before he is possible to the USA is delivered.
