Hackers Arrested.
Quote:A group of expert hackers who attacked governments and corporations around the globe has been busted after its ringleader one of the world's most-wanted and most-feared computer vandals turned against his comrades and secretly became an informant for the FBI months ago.

Five people, including a Chicago man, were charged in court papers unsealed in federal court in New York, and authorities revealed on Tuesday (local time) that a sixth person, Hector Xavier Monsegur, a legendary figure known in the hacking underworld as "Sabu," has pleaded guilty in New York, where he lives.

Authorities said it marked the first significant prosecution of major internet hackers.

Facepalm

"Ringleader?"

Since when does Anonymous have a "Ringleader"?

It's not "Anonymous" it's LulzSec

RE: Anonymous Hackers Arrested
I think it means just people who are Anonymous, not the group, or a sect from Anonymous, besides, the government knows if you're apart of Anonymous.

RE: Anonymous Hackers Arrested
Theoretically, you can never arrest anyone involved with Anonymous, since its members are anonymous.

RE: Anonymous Hackers Arrested
Well, it shows that the FBI think they're a serious threat enough to employ undercover agents.

All to stop guys who just do stuff for the lulz.

RE: Anonymous Hackers Arrested
Yes. Sabu was the leader of LulzSec, he was caught months ago. Up until now he had been working authorities to help them catch other hackers.

Didn't bother to read full article, because I could care less about it, but after clicking the source I see that now :/

Besides, thread title lead me to believe it had something to do with Anonymous, and I know they don't have a leader.
