On
the website of the BBC, in a news item dated 23rd September 2011, we
learn that the FBI has arrested a key member of LulzSec.
"LulzSec"
is the hackers' group behind a series of attacks on Sony Pictures
Entertainment, the US Senate, the CIA and the British NHS, between
May and July 2011.
Cody
Kretsinger, the alleged hacker, was caught by the FBI during a
morning raid.
The
FBI was behind ten other raids carried out in San Francisco, Montana,
New Jersey and Minnesota to arrest members of Lulzsecf and of
Anonymous, another hackers' group.
A
Tweet by Sabu (a founder of Lulzsec) explains that a lot of members
are now in jail.
Hackers
are able to attack every institution in the world, even the most
powerful like the CIA. The consequences of this violation could be
dreadful for many people. The security forces seem to be incapable of
stopping them. The FBI arrested Mr Kretsinger several months after
his crime...
What do
YOU think of these hackers? Comments please!
