LulzSec had been making some major news stories over this past month. However, it seems like that the big brothers are getting
annoyed by the tantrums of these pesky teenagers and have decided to go all strict on them. Apparently, Metropolitan Police of London today arrested a 19 year old, who is suspected to be the mastermind behind all the hacking attacks on big businesses and government agencies.
LulzSec made the headlines when it was held responsible for the massive security breach at Sony PlayStation Network. The breach caused the network to be disrupted for more than a month and cost the company to the tune of a couple of hundred million dollars. The network users' personal and financial details were compromised. However, there are no reports that the data was actually used for causing any financial damage.
The group later also executed the similar attacks on CIA website as well. Reportedly, LulzSec worked in cahoots with yet another famous hacking group Anonymous. Anonymous stole the limelight when it came forward to defend Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange.
Though newspapers and news sites are flushed with reports about the arrest of Ryan Cleary, the group has claimed that none of its members has been detained by the Police. Clearly in a defiant mode, the group tweeted, "Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now"¦ wait"¦ we're all still here! Which poor b****** did they take down?" Uh-huh, the arrest was made by the London Police in collaboration with the FBI and the Scotland Yard, so we are pretty sure that we can easily rule out the comic possibility of mistaken identity. By the way, LulzSec has also denied being responsible for Census database hack.
