UK arrests 'Fluffi Bunni' hacker

A man believed to head a group of hackers known as "Fluffi Bunni," which used a stuffed pink rabbit to mark attacks that humiliated some of the world's top computer security organisations has been arrested.

Fluffi Bunni captured the attention of the FBI just days after the September 11 terror attacks, when thousands of commercial websites were vandalised with a single break-in that included the message, "Fluffi Bunni Goes Jihad".

Lynn Htun, 24, was arrested on outstanding forgery charges while attending a trade show in London for computer security professionals. A United States official said Htun is wanted in America in connection with high-profile hacking cases blamed on Fluffi Bunni.
