BREAKING: French teen Vincent Lauton arrested over global spate of school bomb threats

A French teenager is being held by police in relation to a spate of bomb threats made to schools across Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, according to reports.

The 18-year-old, named Vincent Lauton, is "a sophisticated computer operative" who is "known for previous acts of piracy", but is so respected as a hacker that he is sometimes consulted by detectives for his advice, according to an article in The Daily Mail, which details his apparent connection to the threats.

Now Lauton is being held by French police and questioned over his alleged connection to a dark web operation that takes requests for bomb threats that can be made to schools or businesses, the article.

If he is the guility person for the school bombing threats he should be severely beaten with a bamboo stick. Then, lock him up for a long time. Maybe that would wipe that smile off his face.
