Busted Hacker Becomes FBI Snitch

"Sabu" Hector Xavier Monsegur aka Sabu
A group of six expert hackers who have been attacking governments and corporations around the globe have been arrested after its ringleader turned against his comrades and secretly began working as an snitch for the FBI months ago, authorities have announced. Five people were charged in court papers unsealed in federal court in New York. Authorities also revealed that a sixth person, Hector Xavier Monsegur (aka “Sabu”) of New York, has pleaded guilty. Monsegur was charged with conspiracy to engage in computer hacking, among other offences. To which he pled guilty on August 15, 2011.
Portrayed in court papers as the ringleader, Monsegur is known to the hacking underworld as Sabu. Authorities said he formed an malicious hacking group last May and named it Lulz Security or LulzSec. Lulz is internet texting slang that can be interpreted as "laughs", "humor" or "funny." Monsegur and his followers embarked on a dastardly stream of deeds against businesses, government entities, theft of confidential information, defacing of websites and attacks that temporarily shut down business.
According to court papers, Monsegur was an influential member of three hacking groups Anonymous, Internet Feds and Lulz Security, these groups were responsible for multiple cyber attacks on the computer systems of various businesses and governments throughout the world. He also identified vulnerabilities in the computer systems of potential victims.
According to the court papers he participated in attacks over the past few years on Visa, MasterCard and PayPal; Algeria, Yemeni, government computers in Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Fox Broadcasting Co and the Tribune Co, PBS; and the US Senate.
Some alleged associates of the group are already facing charges elsewhere. In England teenager, Ryan Cleary, was arrested in June. In July, a supposed LulzSec spokesman, Jake Davis, was arrested in Scotland. Irish police said on Tuesday that one of the five suspects had been arrested and was being held at a Dublin police station.
