MADRID, Safar 22, 1436, Dec 14, 2014, SPA -- Spanish police say they have arrested four people suspected of carrying out a cyberattack that stopped a media website from working for three weeks and cost it some 425,000 euros ($530,600), AP reported. Spanish news website prnoticias said Sunday the attacks, organized by a former director of rival news outlet Intereconomia, had hindered its output for 21 days starting in Oct. 2013. Those arrested are described as a business entrepreneur and three computer experts who he allegedly hired to launch an unlawful attack known as distributed denial of service, a police statement said Sunday. -- SPA 20:16 LOCAL TIME 17:16 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
