Suspected Lulzsec Hacker found... in Essex

[Cheezeypoofs]

He can't even go out of his house? Take him across seas and throw him in jail. My God... that is so fitting that I am at a loss for words.

 

[Megacherv]

Well...Essex, huh?

How 'bout that?

 

[ResonanceSD]

How did they find him? Did that blog dedicated to tracking down LulzSec members find him? Do they know what operations he was part of? What's his expected jail sentence? What's your source?

TOO MANY QUESTIONS! From what you've presented, I guess this is encouraging, maybe they'll take down LulzSec and AntiSec after all.

EDIT: Here's a source.

It appears that he wasn't even part of the PSN scandal, it looks like he's being arrested for the DDoS wave.

That'll teach him to attack the Escapist =D

What's that? Someone in Britain has committed a crime on the internet? Extradite them immediately!

Seriously America, leave us alone. We can deal with our own criminals.

I suspect we believe our penalties are higher and that our interest where more impacted than British.

Maybe American penalties are harsher and maybe your government does believe that. Unfortunately, he is a British citizen, he committed a crime in Britain and as such should be tried in Britain.

The US government is not a global law-enforcement agency no matter how much they might want to be. This man has a right to be tried in his home country.

Am I the only person in the UK who want this guy extradited to America?

Think of the plus sides... Longer sentence most likely, rougher jails, British person will not function well in a federal prison and the biggest upside of them all... We don't pay to keep him, american tax payers do!

Soo, not only do we have a bad reputation generally but now Essex hosts some of the most currently reknowned hackers, great...

 

[Abengoshis]

Lol he lived near me.

I thought that lulzec had accepted donations in U.S. currency, so wouuldn't that mean they were centered in the U.S.? Maybe this guy (if this story is true) is just one of there partners in crime.

Just because they accept donations in US currency doesn't mean they are based in the US. Don't forget, even though it's not as strong as it used to be, a lot of things are tied to the dollar.

I suppose, and it would be funny if these guys ended up being mongolian or something.

lulzsec = mongolian
sony = chinese


(I like PS3, but doesn't mean I can't be cruel)

 

[MuppeTeN]

Agh, i seriously doubt they catch all of them.

 

[Judgement101]

GET THE PITFORK! THIS PRICK DIES TONIGHT!

Whoops, sorry. Anywho, I say that we throw 'em in jail.

 

[RabbidKuriboh]

Just watched the BBC news at 10, apparently US and British agencies have found one of the key Lulzsec hackers, a 19 year old agoraphobic, in Essex. He and another teenager are currently trying to fight extradition to the States for trial action.

I don't want to wear out on the who hacking scandal, but what are your feelings on this? Particularly if you are a PS3 owner like me?

Got a news link?

OT: I bet you 50$ bucks he will rat out as many people as possible to avoid getting in trouble.

let us pray this happens so these little shits can be found

 

[FalloutJack]

An agoraphobic? What a master of terror he must be. Proof Lulsex is a bunch of wimps who hide behind a computer to do things they'd be scared to in real life.

Yyyup. They don't have a ghost of a chance, now that real life comes crashing down. Run, you sad little worms. RUN.

Hmmm... Should I make a thread about this? A thread about the inevitable doom of these foolish fellows?

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

IF this kid is part of it, I have no quarrel with dropping the heavy end of the hammer on him.
Having computer security skills is great. Using them to get laughs by downgrading other people's lives is over and beyond stupid. Whether its "anarchy" or "free information" they represent, I don't think they truly understand the concepts of either or the consequences. If you have skills like this, use them to further enrich people's lives, be a useful citizen, not some sociopathic assjack who's in it "for the lulz". Gods be damned thats the most childish crap I've ever heard. Its like griefing on a massive scale, on top of felony theft and the cyber version of B&E/home invasion.
Grow up, add to the world in a useful way instead of grabbing at your 15 minutes of fame for 15-25 years in jail for dumb crap.

 

[intheweeds]

Agh, i seriously doubt they catch all of them.

But...
They GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!TM

Sorry... I couldn't help myself!

OT: It's a matter of time before they all fall now imo. It looks like that blog people have posted have them doxed. They will be tracked down, it's just a matter of time. I for one, look forward to following their captures and sentencing!

 

[Vault Girl]

After what he made SONY consumers go through, not to mention dozens of others for his various other hacks, i wouldn't be surprised if he did get extradited. The supreme court was involved in a lot of those cases, so it sounds like there might not even be a deal ala Geo-douche style.

Seriously though a 19 year old from Essex? of all the places i would have thought a lulzsec hacker would be based i never though it would be there :/

This is the place everyone should be watching for arrests. They are the ones gathering the evidence and sending it to the FBI, and even they are saying the person caught isn't anything more than an IRC operator.

People seem to really believe in this blog and I've got no idea why... "We like what they're saying, let's follow them blindly!". I don't know, it just seems odd and it's probally.. you know.. fake. on that topic, I can make up shit too!

Spoiler: strong language

EDIT: If they really do extradite these dudes the world seriously need to stand up to the bullies that is the USA. Few years back they demanded to extradicate a lone mother leaving her 9 yeard old kid with out a mother. And Gary McKinnen, ofcourse.

I'll tell you what. You find another site with potential information about Lulzsec and we'll go with that. Sound good?
