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.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
