PRAGUE -- Police in the Czech Republic's capital have detained a Russian citizen suspected of hacking U.S.-based websites.
A Prague police spokesman said late on October 18 that the suspect, whose identity was not disclosed, was detained in a restaurant.
The arrest was carried out on October 5 in cooperation with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Hours after the arrest was made public, the professional networking service LinkedIn suggested that the arrest was tied to a 2012 breach of member information.
A spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department declined to confirm that or comment on a possible connection.
