The hacker who falsely claimed to have breached FireEye — it was just the personal online accounts of one employee — was arrested by international law enforcement and taken into custody on October 26, FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia said Wednesday.

“These attackers rarely, if ever get caught and therefore I’m pleased, that in this case we’re able to impose repercussions for the attacker and achieve a small victory for the good guys,” Mandia said during a conference call.
