BBC BREAKING: Lulzsec leader caught in UK Essex


Recommended Posts

It doesn't matter, I highly doubt these l33t hackers operate like a proper terrorist group in cells that are separate from each other. One person will lead to another and another and so on.

You can bet the boat on those who are caught will snitch on the others in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Also to add on:

The ?Anonymous? collective named Ryan Cleary as the person responsible for breaching two of its own sites. The 18-year-old was accused of trying to bring down message boards used by Anonymous members to communicate with each other. Read Here

?We regret to inform you today that our network has been compromised by a former IRC-operator and fellow helper named ?Ryan?,? a post on its AnonOps site said.

?He decided that he didn?t like the leaderless command structure that AnonOps network admins use. So he organised a coup d?etat.?

Mr Cleary was accused of stealing passwords and targeting the network servers used to keep Anonymous?s websites running.

?This is not a joke, this isn?t a lie, this is the truth and we are sorry for that,? the post added. A later update showed a screenshot of a ?revenge attack? that gave the alleged culprit?s full name, address and phone numbers.

Anonymous is still under attack. Going to AnonOps.net diverts to a page with the title 'LOL ANONOPS DEAD' followed by some rather unpleasant language.

So he used to be a helper for Anon but decided to go after them instead by attacking their servers early last month. Anon got info for him and posted it on the website, could be possible that the FBI/Scotland Yard seen this as a possible lead with all the leaked info (including where he lives, DOB, who his parents and brother are, phone numbers etc), and arrested him.

LulzSec just put somthing on their twitter.

Look above to my post, Anon believe Lulzsec wouldn't be stupid enough to even let him in as a member. He's just an old IRC op who tried to **** Anon over and got burnt for it.

Sorry its hard to keep up with whos who. Heh. I find this all entertaining. And await the articles of when they get arrested. You can think all you want that your "securely" safe on the internet. But your not.

Ah finally ! They've confirmed that there is no census hack at all : "I'm not seeing "we hacked the UK census" on our twitter feed or website... why does the media believe we hacked the UK census? #confusion" and "Oh well, just because we want to waste government and local authority investigation time: we hacked every website in the world. Enjoy!"

Hah. Funny to see the media reporting how important the person they arrested is. Not.

I personally fully support LulzSec, and Anonymous, even more now they're going to go AntiSec together. If they can pull AntiSec off, they will vastly improve internet security.

Apparently they're releasing personal info on the people that tried snitching on them :

LulzSec : "We decided to unleash the kraken on two jackasses: http://t.co/MTw61o5"

LulzSec : "tl;dr they leaked logs, we owned them, one of them literally started crying for mercy, we saw it fit to pastebin their home addresses. "

LulzSec : "Remember this tweet, m_nerva, for I know you'll read it: your cold jail cell will be haunted with our endless laughter. Game over, child."

(I wanted to post it here, but inadvertently posted it in the other topic :/)

So you're okay with them disrupting services for millions of people, leaking people's information, etc all in the name of improving security?

Please, grow up.

@_DP, The snitches are involved in cybercrime themselves.

Yes, but wouldn't that be even more incentive to pass along all the info they have? I mean, they basically are leading the authorities right to their own front door. Plea bargain, no doubt.

There's a reason the mafia never went to the FBI and said "Hey, see this guy, this is where he lives now go arrest him." This is getting better by the day.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
