I also think this is a school kid as most sites are only hacked around the school holidays when he is sat at home board with nothing to do and no social life.

These types of hackers are known as script kiddies as they are usually school kids who don't have the skill or the knowledge to do proper hacking and tend to look at security web sites for security vulnerability reports and follow the steps in the report to deface web sites.

Real hackers who find the vulnerabilities within software tend to be older with more skills and more ethical and will contact the software owners first giving them advice on what they found and giving time for a patch to be released before they put in a report to the security web sites, but don't actually hack any sites themselves. It's only then the script kiddies get hold of this and then use this info to look for un-patched sites to hack so they can show off to their school mates.

One of my websites was hacked by a Turkish hacker (traced IP address) and I lost a fair amount of money.  I reported it online to Scotland Yard, of course they couldn't do anything but I did it for insurance purposes and making it a lot easier to explain when selling the site to someone else.
