RISE AND FALL OF Luzsec- Betrayed by Their Chief

[Mtazamaji]

Makala hii ni kama movie. Jinsi Lulzsec walivyofanya mambo na hatimaye wahusika mmoja baada ya wmingine kukamatwa. Kiongozi wao Mkuu kwa jina la "sabu" ndio aliwanasisha wote. From a hacker to a snitch


No hacker group ignited controversy or captured the attention of the tech community quite like LulzSec. Formed in May 2011, the group consisted of veteran hackers from the greater Anonymous collective, which in turn was born out of the image board 4Chan -- a landing spot for millions of internet-enthusiasts. 2011 was truly an incredible year for "pwnie" nominated LulzSec, with high profile hacks on the Japan's Sony Corp. (TYO:6758) and even U.S. government agencies [1][2][3][4] [5][6][7][8] [9][10][11][12] [13][14][15].

I. The End of LulzSec

But the defiant band of rogues began to crumble in late July with the arrest of a 16-year-old alleged LulzSec member (handle:"T-Flow"/"tflow") in South London. Soon afterwards, 18-year-old Jake Davis (handle: "Topiary"/"atopiary") -- an even more active LulzSec core member -- was reportedly arrested in the small Shetland Islands north-east coast of Scotland.

Not long after, Darren Martyn (handle: "pwnsauce"/ "raepsauce" / "networkkitten"; location: Ireland), Donncha O'Cearrbhail (handle: "palladium"; location: Ireland); and Jeremy Hammond (handle:"Anarchaos" / "sup_g" / "CredibleThreat" / etc.; location: Chicago, Ill.) all were brought into custody. "Anarchaos", it should be noted, was a late joiner who led the Anonymous attack on Stratfor, which stole over $700,000 USD from individual victims in the public.

But the highest profile catch yet came this Tuesday, with the reported arrest of Ryan Ackroyd (handle: "Kayla" / "lol" / "lolspoon"; location: London). Kayla, age 23, was reportedly second in command of the group, contributing key work, such as a vulnerability discovery that allow LulzSec's hack of the U.S. Senate servers.

Those arrests only left one top LulzSec member unmentioned -- its chief, "Sabu". Well, if reports are correct, 28-year-old Hector Xavier Monsegur -- an unemployed father of two from New York City, New York -- is "Sabu". And according to an press release by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the leader of LulzSec has not only been tracked down by federal agents, but he was responsible for carefully snaring his underlings into federal custody in exchange for leniency.

According to Mr. Monsegur's guilty plea, filed in Southern District of New York federal court, the feds tracked Sabu to a housing project on New York's Lower East Side

II. From Hacker "God" to "Snitch"

At the time black-hat hackers of all levels were enraptured by Mr. Monsegur alter ego "Sabu" -- a key figure in Anonymous, Internet Feds, LulzSec, etc. An unnamed "law enforcement official" interviewed by Fox News recalls, "In half the world he was a god. If he thought what you did was good, you’d rise up in the [hacker] community—once he blessed you, basically."

Tatizo sisi tumekarishwa kupta njia ndefu mwenye akili mbunifu lazima aitwe Dr au prof au Bs . Miaka 18 au 19 hapa kwetu ndio kwanza unamaliza A level. ama unajua komyuta ni wachache....

Hawa vijana wanaofanya haya mambo kwa bongo tungeweza sema ni kama wamemaliza form four vizuri wakaamua kuingia college (VETA and the like ) kupata training ya mambo ya computer.

Lakini sisi Vyuo kama VETA vinadharauika sana.
