LulzSec suspect arrested in UK
An arrest has been made in connection with the recent string of LulzSec hacks. Scotland Yard is also investigating for a possible connection to the PlayStation Network data breach.
An arrest has been made in connection with the recent string of LulzSec hacks, Develop reports. A 19 year-old Essex man has been charged in connection with the DDOS attack on the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) site, for which LulzSec claimed responsibility.
Scotland Yard also believes the suspect may be connected to the PlayStation Network breach. A search of the suspect's address has reportedly turned up "a significant amount of material," and they are searching for "any Sony data" among it.
The hacker group Anonymous has been suspected of being involved in the PSN breach, especially after being directly implicated by Sony in a letter to Congress. In Spain, three arrests were made to Anon members, but the group has officially denied involvement.
LulzSec itself has been involved in a string of recent hacks, though it did offer its services to catch the culprits of the Sega hack. Despite the arrest, the LulzSec Twitter account is still going, and promising more hacks to come.

It's the IRC admin, not one of the lulzsec guys.
Idiots.-

Nope, not in any of the public channels. That channel is for announce and general chat. Has nothing to do with coordination or targetting.
-
Well, then, I guess it sucks to be that guy!

I'm sure they'll get him on something. Probably illegal porn and software. If he's smart he'll have his HDDs encrypted and refuse to give over his password.

Will that defense work in the UK?

The people carrying out this investigation understood less than half of the words in that sentence. I'm not sure what everyone was hoping for.
-
Are you claiming that this, so called security group, let's an outside party handle their IRC channel? The channel where they plan their illegal activity? If so, then it seems these guys need a primer in secure communications.
-
They don't plan their stuff in there. It's just an announce/discussion channel.

I hope they do everything they can to make him shit himself, and then release a video of it just so he's never so smug about it ever again.
-
And yes I'm aware it's more than one person. Make everyone shit themselves!

"we did it, for the lulz mate"

from what i heard, this kid has a history of trying to dox anon peoples in the past. little idiot trying to be cool :(

I'm amazed that people really still believe this crap. Of course there is *some* kind of leadership role in organizations like this and annon, even if it only lasts a few days or hours while they pull their shit. They love to claim otherwise because it gives them the illusion of invincibility.

Eh, it's a small group of people with some powerful DDoS tools at their disposal. They're small enough to run truly democratically without much issue over the short term but that doesn't mean it can't be taken down, just that it's harder to do so.
