A 17-year-old from Manchester has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police's e-crime unit (PCeU) on suspicion of being behind a denial of service attack against the online game Call of Duty.
The teenager was arrested in the Beswick area of Manchester early on Thursday morning.
He is suspected of involvement in denial of service attacks which severely disrupted the online version of the game, and the playtime of many other players, in September. Distributed denial of service attacks are currently being used against the websites of Sarah Palin, Mastercard and other perceived "enemies of Wikileaks and Julian Assange".

It is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE what some people will do to improve their scores! Sheesh.
Well, this kid has definitely made his mark. Sadly it's a skid mark as his life grinds to a halt.

Black Ops is an enemy of Wikileaks?
I am trying to figure out how a videogame can be the enemy of a website... but this makes sense, I always had the sneaking suspicion that Everquest was involved in a plot to undermine the old ISP Prodigy.
This might be a major break in the case...
I never thought I would say this, but aimbotting would have been a better way to channel that rage.
