The FBI arrested a  Connecticut man  Tuesday in connection with a cyberattack on the website of KISS frontman Gene Simmons, NewsCore reports. Kevin George Poe is believed to be a part of the computer hacking collective Anonymous.

Poe was released on a $10,000 bond after being taken into custody without incident, according to the report. Poe took part in a distributed denial of service (DDos) attack in October of 2010 against the rock group frontman’s website GeneSimmons.com, which caused it to crash.
