‘Sabu’, whose real name is Hector Xavier Monsegur, began working for the FBI after being arrested in June last year, Fox News said on Tuesday. A law enforcement source confirmed that Monsegur had been a “human source” for the FBI.

Monsegur, who had even tried to pass himself off as a federal agent, operated out of his Lower East Side home, according to the criminal complaint.

The hackers allegedly stole personal information about more than 1 million people, with one defendant — Jeremy Hammond, 27, of Chicago — charged in connection with more than $700,000 worth of unauthorized credit-card purchases.

The four others charged are Ryan Ackroyd, 23, and Jake Davis, 29, both of the United Kingdom; and Darren Martyn, 25, and Donncha O’Cearrbhail, 19, both of Ireland.

A law-enforcement source said the charges capped an FBI probe that began in June 2011 following receipt of a confidential tip.

The hacks include “denial of service” attacks led by Monsegur against the Visa, Mastercard and PayPal Web sites between December 2010 and June 2011 in retaliation for the companies’ refusal to process donations to Wikileaks.

In December 2011, HAMMOND conspired to hack into computer systems used by Stratfor, a private firm that provides governments and others with independent geopolitical analysis. HAMMOND and his co-conspirators, as members of AntiSec, stole confidential information from those computer systems, including Stratfor employees’ e-mails as well as account information for approximately 860,000 Stratfor subscribers or clients. HAMMOND and his co-conspirators stole credit card information for approximately 60,000 credit card users and used some of the stolen data to make unauthorized charges exceeding $700,000. HAMMOND and his co-conspirators also publicly disclosed some of the confidential information they had stolen.

hello friends! 

pandasecurity.com, better known for its shitty ANTIVIRUS WE HAVE BACKDOORED, has earning money working with Law Enforcement to lurk and snitch on anonymous activists.
they helped to jail 25 anonymous in different countries and they were actively participating in our IRC channels trying to dox many others.
Aside how clueless they are and how disgusting they look sucking police tiny dicks and even how much fun we got when they are trying to sell IT security services xD that only helps to endanger people even more; they contribute to bring activist to jail.
activists, not even hackers. common people who are trying desperately to denounce the injustices happening on their countries right now. we should just say:

yep we know about you.
how does it feels being the spied one?
eat cock now.

Where is the lulz now? 

Really good news. I have just read that LulzSec members have been arrested and that their main head Sabu has been working as an informant for the FBI. It turns out he was arrested last year, and since then he has been working with Law Enforcement. As I said, really good news 🙂 

Will this mean the end of Anonymous? No. It will mean the end of LulzSec, but Anonymous existed before LulzSec and will continue existing. However we probably won’t see any more hacks as the ones LulzSec had been perpetrating, and Anonymous will only use their known childish tactic of DDoS using their LOIC tool.

LOL HE ASKED FOR THE LULZ!!!! HERE IT IS THE LULZ “Another problem is that sometimes if you want to infiltrate and you have to be one of the criminals, you have to do things that you shouldn’t. In that case, you need to be with law enforcement. We have to find ways to cooperate even better with law enforcement.” says Luis Corrons, research director of PandaLabs.
