LulzSec is dead — everyone in it was betrayed and arrested. But that’s still one hell of a brand name, and one enterprising group isn’t letting it go to waste: 170,000+ dating profiles just got leaked in the name of LulzSec Reborn.
LulzSec/Anonymous mastermind Hector “Sabu” Monsegur annoyed a lot of people this week after selling out his entire team to the FBI. But there’s one more person who hated his guts: the downstairs neighbour who filed a complaint with the city of New York. So just how bad a neighbour was he? Read her email.
Yesterday it was reported that Sabu had turned against his hacker community by working with the FBI. As a result, six key members of LulzSec have been arrested. In response, Anonymous has posted an open letter to Sabu on a website it hacked.
We know the FBI pressured LulzSec leader Sabu into giving up vital info one some of the most active hackers in his collective. But how does Anonymous feel after this most recent, and hugely significant, turn of events?
In what’s looking more and more like LulzSec’s Waterloo, six top-ranking members of the notorious hacking collective were arrested today. Here, in their entirety, are their full indictments. It’s a fed’s-eye view of the organisation that wreaked unfettered havoc for months last year.
Sabu, the most notorious hacker alive today, has been captured by the FBI, and apparently turned against his hacker comrades. This is how the FBI caught him.
Usually the FBI is the one doing the wiretapping, but Anonymous has turned the tables on the feds, intercepting an entire phone conversation between US and UK police. The investigation? Anonymous and LulzSec. Irony!
Cody Kretsinger, arrested last week for participating in the LulzSec face-smashing of Sony Pictures, was a good kid. Aside from his massively illegal hacking, he was a bright student who just wanted a family and to work for the government.
