14 DAY TRIAL // The Dutch Public Prosecution Service has announced that the man suspected of launching a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack against the systems of Spamhaus has been extradited to the Netherlands.
The man, identified as 35-year-old SK, is believed to be Sven Olaf Kamphuis, aka CB3ROB, the owner of Cyberbunker. The Dutch citizen was arrested in late April near Barcelona, Spain.
According to Dutch publication WebWereld, the suspect has been jailed for 14 days. During this two-week period, the court will decide whether or not to extend the detention.
Kamphuis is said to have launched the largest cyberattack in history from a van he turned into a mobile computing office.
The Dutch police’s High Tech Crime Unit continues to investigate the DDOS attacks on Spamhaus.
In the meantime, hacktivists have demanded the release of Kamphuis. Although it's difficult to verify, some of them have claimed responsibility for the recent attacks on DigiD and Dutch government websites.
