Vincent Lauton was arrested after local threats prompted them to track his IP address, local media reported.
He can get into pretty much any system, and is a master of the dark web.
Lauton was so well respected as a hacker that detectives sometimes turned to him for advice.
Two weeks ago, three schools in Birmingham were evacuated following hoax calls.
Seven days later, six schools in Birmingham were threatened, along with four in London and Cornwall respectively.
The same day, pupils and teachers were also told to evacuate five schools in Paris and Lyon.
There were similar threats against educational establishments in Amsterdam, Tokyo and Sydney.
In all of the above cases, no explosive devices was found.
The dark web exists on overlay networks that require specialist software and authorisation to access it.
And Lautons darkness.su site was the perfect place for Evacuators 2K16 to set up shop.
Want to divert the police away from a crime youre going to commit?
I cant believe that the police would frame this on him.
I think its disgraceful, he wrote on Facebook.
Hes a teenager like any other a little angry maybe, but not a criminal.
I was very surprised.
Confirming Lautons arrest, a Paris police source said he was being questioned at length.
He confirmed that the investigation was an anti-terrorist one, but could not supply further details for operational reasons.
No other suspects had yet been located or arrested in connection with the bomb threats, the source added.
