Hackers collective LulzSec, which announced a cyberwar against corrupt governments earlier this week, became the shocking victim of a hack attack itself - rival hack group TeaMp0isoN hacked into the website of an alleged LulzSec member Swen Slootweg (who goes by the handle Joepie91) and warned LulzSec to back down, telling them: you will_NEVER_represent the real hacking scene.
Hacker arrested by British police; Lulzsec denies he is a member of their collective.
The suspected LulzSec hacker 19-year-old Ryan Cleary could face up to ten years in jail in the US if he is found guilty of hacking into the CIA and US Senate websites, it has been reported.
After the arrest of a 19-year-old in connection with the Sony hack, LulzSec came up with yet another tweet ridiculing desperate police efforts to close in on the group. Immediately after the arrest, there had been media reports claiming that the arrested teenager was actually the leader of the hacking group.
British police arrested a 19-year-old man in England on suspicions that he was linked to cyber attacks on the CIA, Britain's anti-organized crime agency and Sony Corp.
As the news of the arrest of 19-year old mastermind behind the hacker group LulzSec spread, they tweeted: Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now... wait... we're all still here! Which poor bastard did they take down?
Hacking group LulzSec will partner with Anonymous, another group of established hackers, to declare an open war against all government sites, banks and big corporations in the world, under the auspices of an initiative called Operation Anti-Security.
The two groups are teaming together to hack government institutions.
In the wake of the revelation that both the U.S. Senate and CIA's websites were hacked, the White House has called for stricter sentences for any hacker caught breaking into a government's private computer networks.
If one thought to watch a movie online on Father's Day or just to spend Sunday time on Netflix, they were in for a surprise.
Maybe we have seen just the tip of the iceberg. Leaving behind some rather bitter moments between other hacker groups, including Anonymous, LulzSec announced its decision to team up with Anonymous. To increase efforts, we are now teaming up with the Anonymous collective and all affiliated battleships. The hacker group wreaking havoc across corporations and government agencies among other organizations announced Operation Anti-Security moments ago in a post uploaded on Pastebin.

British mobile carriers have tightened voicemail security since a phone-tapping scandal at News Corp's News of the World tabloid, but technological advances mean eavesdropping is easier than ever.
A German teenager accused of stealing unreleased tracks of Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake and selling them to fans was jailed on Thursday for 18 months. The 18-year old, who called himself DJ Stolen, operated from his parents' home. He was found guilty of computer break-ins by a court in Duisburg, Germany.
U.S. authorities often prosecute computer hacks that cause more mischief than money losses, but long prison sentences are very rare in such cases. But the hacker will have to face prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, if the victim shows that he or she has suffered a considerable amount of financial damage in a certain period of time.
