Lulzsec leader turned into an informant !

Police arrested three men and charged a further two with conspiracy largely based on a case filed in New York federal court against Hector Xavier Monsegur, the man alleged to be LulzSec's former leader, who operated under the hacker handle Sabu

Greetings folks !

Here is something that is getting everyone the world over talking…

Police arrested three men and charged a further two with conspiracy largely based on a case filed in New York federal court against Hector Xavier Monsegur, the man alleged to be LulzSec’s former leader, who operated under the hacker handle Sabu. Top members of the computer hacker group “Anonymous” and its offshoots were also arrested and charged.

How did this happen ?

Well, Sabu , decided to plead his innocence and turned himself into an informant ! Turning up on the entire Lulzsec and giving out information about the rest of the gang !

RYAN ACKROYD, a/k/a “kayla,” a/k/a “lol,” a/k/a “lolspoon,” [23, of Doncaster, United Kingdom]

JAKE DAVIS, a/k/a “topiary,” a/k/a “atopiary,” [29, of Lerwick, Shetland Islands]

DARREN MARTYN, a/k/a “pwnsauce,” a/k/a “raepsauce,” a/k/a “networkkitten,” [25, of Galway, Ireland]

DONNCHA O’CEARRBHAIL, a/k/a “palladium,” [19, of Birr, Ireland]

All of them identified themselves as members of Anonymous, Internet Feds, and/or LulzSec, were charged in an Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court with computer hacking conspiracy involving the hacks of Fox Broadcasting Company, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and the Public Broadcasting Service (“PBS”).

O’CEARRBHAIL is also charged in a separate criminal Complaint with intentionally disclosing an unlawfully intercepted wire communication.

Now Sabu or Monsegur was also the man behind the “Operation Payback” that attacked Paypal, Visa and Mastercard.

And here is another interesting story, for all the “innocent” hacktivists of Anon, they’re in for another surprise :

Hacktivists grabbed what they thought was the Slowloris tool, which is designed to DDOS websites and ultimately knock them offline. However, the download included a strain of ZeuS, which promptly installed itself on their Microsoft Windows machines.

The Trojan will carry out the distributed attacks, but that’s not all it does – it’ll also steal users’ online banking credentials, webmail logins, and cookies.

Hmm… Sounds interesting…

So thats all folks, now warlock is back to work mode !

Adios !
