Alleged Head of LulzSec Arrested

Published on March 6, 2012 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

Just caught an interesting headline: “Exclusive: Unmasking the World’s Most Wanted Hacker” here:

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/03/06/exclusive-unmasking-worlds-most-wanted-hacker/

Hector Xavier Monsegur is alleged to be “Sabu The Elephant Boy”, the head of Lulzsec. He was arrested during the summer of 2011 by the FBI after he was “doxed” (identified) online. Apparently he’s a 28 year old unemployed computer programmer living on the lower east side in Manhattan.

He has plead guilty to a dozen hacking related and computer crime charges.

Sad, really. With his knowledge and skills, he could have worked for big bucks in IT Security. Instead he lived in poverty on public assistance and identity theft.

I must be really old, folks. I just don’t get it….

Oh yes. As expected, he informed on his "colleagues", which resulted in more arrests across two continents, today.

"Agents across two continents arrested two of LulzSec‘s alleged top hackers on Tuesday morning, along with a member of the larger hacking collective Anonymous. Law enforcement also slapped new charges on two LulzSec members who were already behind bars, Fox News reports.

I am also certain this is all about - across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.

I'm thinking this might be misinformation also. Hard to tell , it's not like he can deny it when he's sitting in jail.

So is the FBI culpable to the crimes, and liable for the damage lulzsec did these last 8-9 months while their turncoat "leader" was operating under the FBI's thumb?

If they are then Holder will certainly go after them.......he's a stand up guy who never lets politics or personalities effect an investigation....
