The police said they believed the attacks were linked and carried out by the same group of hackers who have previously tried to hack the Soca and the CIA. The teenager, whose name is unknown, has been interviewed by the London Metropolitan police while at the same time specialists examid his computer equipment at home. Census data has also been accessed, which could mean all private information is now out in the open.

Personal opinion:
Sure, people should not hack into other people's files. On the other hand... shouldn't the website have been protected better than this? I think it's an outrage that this could happen and that all this information could now be on the web. I don't really understand how this could happen. Personally, I think they should be thanking this guy for finding a hack so they can fix it.
