ZitatAlles anzeigenThe publisher of a flight simulator site targeted by a hacker in May says it has presented a file of evidence to UK police identifying the perpetrator.
Avsim said it had "incontrovertible evidence" about the hacker's identity.
The attack wiped data held on two servers and "effectively destroyed" the site, which is still being rebuilt.
The US firm said it expected the criminal complaint, filed with London police, to lead to the alleged hacker spending "time behind bars".
"We will not name any names, but have incontrovertible evidence of the individual that performed the hack," said Tom Allensworth, the publisher and CEO of Avsim.
"We have protected the forensic evidence and provided that evidence to the London police. We are committed to bringing justice to bear on this case."
Mr Allensworth told BBC News that the evidence was submitted on Monday to the Southwark division of the Metropolitan Police, which was "acting on behalf of another constabulary".
