Suspected Hacker Arrested in Connection with Historic DDoS Attack on Spamhaus
April 27, 2013
Dutch police have arrested a 35-year-old man linked to a colossal DDoS attack on the anti-spam organization Spamhaus that occurred in March. This attack, which peaked at over 300 Gbps, is recorded as the largest DDoS attack ever. Spamhaus, known for creating blacklists that identify spam sites for Internet Service Providers, experienced a severe disruption as its website was overwhelmed with traffic.
Following the attack, Spamhaus enlisted CloudFlare for protection against future threats. The arrest took place in Barcelona under a European arrest warrant, with plans for the suspect’s transfer to the Netherlands. The individual arrested is believed to be Sven Kamphuis, the owner of Dutch hosting company Cyberbunker, which has been connected to the attack. This incident is thought to have been triggered by Spamhaus blacklisting Cyberbunker.

Click Studios Addresses Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Passwordstate’s Emergency Access Page
Published: August 29, 2025 | Category: Vulnerability / Enterprise Security
Click Studios, the developer behind Passwordstate, an enterprise password management solution, has released critical security updates to fix an authentication bypass vulnerability in its software.
