A WICKFORD teenager accused of carrying out a hacking attack against the website of the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency has been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome.
Ryan Cleary, 19, was arrested on Monday as part of a Scotland Yard and FBI probe into online hacking group LulzSec.
His counsel told City of Westminster Magistrates' Court he suffers from the form of autism, as well as agoraphobia.
He was granted bail, but remains in custody after prosecutors objected.
