Hackers Arrested

Are you sure?

Tis a very sad day indeed. Although I don't know the first thing about hacking, I support Project Chanology against The Church Of Scientology.

And pray tell this isn't the beginning stages of Alzheimer's.

The gov. will hire the best hackers, the rest will go to jail.

Don't you people watch tv (lol)?

Hey, wasn't this the hacker group someone started a thread about a few days ago, saying the group was going to bring down the governments of the world?

More then that, Tflow was REPORTEDLY (forbes) to have been arrested. He was a big part of the LULZSECURITY effort.

It's not confirmed by Lulzsec yet (They confirmed the Cleary arrest)

Was there any mention about what major site they hacked?

This is good news though.

They also ransacked a 13 year old's home today -_____-
All over Reddit this morning :/

I also wish they would be boiled in oil or something equally appropriate.

I have zero sympathy for them and as well for anyone who disrupts commerce, endangers national security or is otherwise a threat to the Internet or personal privacy.

I do not see one thing they are doing that justifies them breathing air. It used to be that hackers were little whiz kids that showed us where we had vulnerabilities and broke in to things simply because they could -- and they were actually not doing anything to steal or plunder - just show off and let us do CYA.

This group is very different - if they take a dime or reveal any confidential information - both of which they did, then I hope they never get out of prison.

Hurray for the FBI! Better late than never we should close all the breaches - and maybe leave a few open for entrapment - like bait cars. Soooo funny.

Update: FBI arrests 12 in 'Anonymous' hackers probe - Computerworld

"Cyberterrorists" - it's about time they call a spade a spade.* And such a banner day on that front with the Taliban claiming their phones were hacked by US Intelligence. HAHAHAHAH - awwww.

Taliban claim their mobile phones have been hacked - Telegraph

They got some of them - wonder how many are actually involved?

Actually, the constitution lays out a lot o restrictions for the GOVERNMENT. The amendments are nothing but restrictions on the government. The first is why the 1st, 4th, 5th, etc... were made. The second is why the 2nd was made. And terrorists generally attack the CITIZENS to strike terror, hence the name.

But yeah there are a LOT of laws, almost NEVER enforced, that make the mere ACCESS of another system a FELONY! Break into a system, and you COULD end up in jail. They are ALMOST NEVER enforced, but pirate a big corporations program, access a lot of CC info, access the government, and you could end up in jail in a matter of HOURS! That hacker I told you about? They got him on the mere ACCESS of AT&Ts system! Access through some FOREIGN government protected proxy, and it MIGHT take weeks, but the US government CAN find out if they try. They have been known to threaten other countries ability to even exist economically, to get less. They did that with SWITZERLAND!

Please post your social security number, street address, mother's maiden name and credit card number and expiration date.

We want to be sure that such a defender of the freedom of hackers and criminals gets full credit and acknowledgement for being so hip and anti-law enforcement.

wow you are really radical, man....

Hacking used to be an almost innocent stunt by script kiddies as a way of having a laugh, but it seems too many have gone over to soem serious crimes

Interesting that you found this item newsworthy, and yet you consider the story about a global corporation hacking into private citizens phones a "media beat up".

Just interesting, that's all.
