The Spanish police have arrested three suspected hackers who allegedly helped attack Sony as well as other corporate and government websites. According to a police statement, the suspects are part of Anonymous, a loosely affiliated group of hackers known for attacking corporate and government organizations for political reasons.
nvestigators reckon the group is responsible for masterminding attacks on the Spain's Central Electoral Board (la Junta Electoral Central) last month as well as Sony's PlayStation Store. The group was also involved in attacks against government websites in Egypt, Algeria and Libya. Spanish police have already published, via Twitter, screensots from IRC logs that appear to show discussion of plans to attack the Spanish electoral board as well as Spanish police websites.

The logs don't say but we guess the attacks are a response to proposed legislation to make filesharing illegal in Spain.

None of the suspects have been named, standard practice at this stage of a police investigation in Spain. A division of the national police handling this case shares responsibility for the investigation of cybercrime cases with El Grupo de Delitos Telemáticos (GDT) of the Guardia Civil in Spain.
