Indian teen arrested in US

Meetkumar Hiteshbhai Desai an Indian origin teen has been arrested in the US for carrying out a cyberattack that swamped Arizona's emergency services with several bogus calls. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office arrested the 18-year-old, accusing him of carrying out a cyber attack on the 911 system, according to a Sheriff's Office statement. Investigators traced the calls and discovered they originated from a link posted to Twitter, according to the statement. The link was to a site named "Meet Desai" and its domain was hosted out of San Francisco. When the link was clicked, it continually called 911 and would not let the caller hang up. Desai told sheriff's detectives that he was interested in programmes, bugs and viruses that he could manipulate and change. Desai said Apple Inc., the hardware and software company, would pay and credit him for discovering such bugs and viruses.
