Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, 27, who is also known online as “Anakata,” appears to be the third suspect in a case involving a hack of Logica, a Swedish IT firm that contracts with the Swedish tax authority (Pirate Bay)

Earlier this year, Logica was hit by an online attack that resulted in around 9,000 Swedes (Google Translate) having their tax data released to the public. Normally in Sweden, such data is made public, but there are cases where that data can be kept hidden—as it was amongst the people that were targeted. Two Swedes were arrested (Google Translate) earlier in 2012 in connection with this case, one of which was a former member of Piratbyrån (Pirate Bureau), the group that later founded The Pirate Bay.
