LulzSec

Lulz Security, also known as "LulzSec," is another computer hacker group that has overtaken high profile attacks, including "Sony" in 2011, also for taking a CIA website offline. LulzSec' member who goes by the named " Sabu." This man was arrested and with a plea deal he made with authorities has helped law enforcement track down other members of the organization. At least four members of LulzSec were arrested in 2012 with the help of Sabu. LulzSec consisted of seven members; LulzSec split up for a short period of time. It wasn't too long when they were back at it with attacks on newspapers, and exploiting false information regarding the death of Rupert Murdoch. The group later on met with other hacking groups such as, the most popular group Anonymous and a few others which started their mission of "Operation AntiSec." They might not be as popular as their hacktivist brethren Anonymous, but are just as equal in skill in their operations. Members of LulzSec could be apart of anonymous. Unfortunately no one will ever know unless they mess up somewhere, forget to do a step and get traced. This hacking group branched off of the idea held by Anonymous, in which is still growing in popularity as years pass.
