Lulzsec Arrested

Law enforcement agents on two continents swooped in on top members of the infamous computer hacking group LulzSec early this morning, and acting largely on evidence gathered by the organization’s brazen leader -- who sources say has been secretly working for the government for months -- arrested three and charged two more with conspiracy

Charges against four of the five were based on a conspiracy case filed in New York federal court, FoxNews.com has learned. An indictment charging the suspects, who include two men from Great Britain, two from Ireland and an American in Chicago is expected to be unsealed Tuesday morning in the Southern District of New York.

“This is devastating to the organization,” said an FBI official involved with the investigation. “We’re chopping off the head of LulzSec.”

The offshoot of the loose network of hackers, Anonymous, believed to have caused billions of dollars in damage to governments, international banks and corporations, was allegedly led by a shadowy figure FoxNews.com has identified as Hector Xavier Monsegur. Working under the Internet alias “Sabu,” the unemployed, 28-year-old father of two allegedly commanded a loosely organized, international team of perhaps thousands hackers from his nerve center in a public housing project on New York’s Lower East Side. After the FBI unmasked Monsegur last June, he became a cooperating witness, sources told FoxNews.com.

“They caught him and he was secretly arrested and now works for the FBI,” a source close to Sabu told FoxNews.com.

DONT BELIEVE IT. THIS IS ALL A PLOY FROM FOX. HACK THE PLANET

[hey]

Why were you checking fox for news?

[6souls]

I saw it from BBC twitter feed, but they don't have an article up yet, so I searched it up. Fox has the first result posted almost an hour ago.

someone take this to the poopdeck so i can mod it

This crazy customer of mine from work must be so distraught. He played World of Warcraft with the great hacker, Anonymous, and when he himself was angry, would shut down large chunks of the internet to vent. D:

The picture of him with a doughnut is key. Good job, sellout.

[Fhqwghads]

Hopefully he can teach them how to make their shit more secure. If some doughnut munching slack-off can wreak billions in damage, imagine what would happen if someone with a political or militaristic agenda had the same know-how and resources? There's plenty of western-hating countries out there that would love nothing more than sabotaging our wired society.

Now we know how Anonymous was able to release the FBI conference call recording.

MAYBE THIS GUY IS A DOUBLE AGENT

[Correction]

More coverage, FOX is on top of this shit:

EXCLUSIVE: Unmasking the world’s most wanted hacker

EXCLUSIVE: Inside LulzSec, a mastermind turns on his minions

Sabu had always been cautious, hiding his Internet protocol address through proxy servers. But then just once he slipped. He logged into an Internet relay chatroom from his own IP address without masking it. All it took was once. The feds had a fix on him.

Fucking lol.

[hey]

“It’s sad, really.”

Sums up the article pretty well.

I am not American but the name Glennbeck doesn't sound too positive based on what I remember from these forums lol

[Dimmauk]

Seriously leave it to FOX to dramatize this more than it needs to be. Oh my fuck.

Ten bucks says this guy is some no name hack that wasn't anyone big in lulzsec. Kind of like the last time a bunch of hackers were arrested and reports claimed they were high ranking members of Lulzsec

sabu is well known, if it is sabu then he's not a no name hack. but then again it's still lulzsec/anon shit there are much more skilled guys out there that don't do shit for lulz or to get in the papers
