Ohh god, I just hope we won't have another wave of hacker attacks now.

I seriously doubt its the right guy... Hackers have two methods that I know of for not being detected.

1) Use Tor which is a massive network of proxies and if you get a hack coming from a tor user, YOU WILL NOT CATCH HIM.... Tor's downside is its slow, but I am not joking when I say the people using tor are right next to untraceable.

2) Use a victim computer which you've installed a trojan or a rootkit on to perform the hack for you.

Im guessing our friend in the US is probably number 2 as they frequently get arrested for things they didn't commit.

This thread is a sad confirmation. Not the hacker, but the fact that most of those that replied seemingly didn't even bother to follow the link to read the story first hand. Instead deciding to go off of the title alone. I suggest that any person wanting to post in this thread might want to take a second to actually read the story. Then let it simmer for a few moments before you chime in on the subject.

A hacker groupie getting caught isn't much of a accomplishment. There are tens of thousands of those to be found on the web. Your better off emptying the ocean with a teaspoon if you think this is progress. Actually it is probably the opposite of progress. Failure to secure the lead operators isn't likely to deter them. All it is likely to do is make them more bold, and probably more malicious about what they are doing. This is how escalation works. Yeah it just got real. Real dangerous for everyone these guys are likely to hit while swinging at Sony.

Which seems to be the case, because they aren't just bragging about stealing account information anymore. Making a point has moved on to releasing real dangerous information. Such as the source code they have decided to make public. I cringe to think what they have been doing inside of Sony networks with that kind of access, and that is like throwing a bucket of blood in shark infested waters.

Seriously there is nothing good about this news at all. You shouldn't celebrate this you should actually be quite concerned by these events. Leaked source codes, botched raids, and the fact that Sony has been this severely compromised should just plain scare the shit right out of you. I am just not getting how you guys are this detached from all the shit that is going down around you.


stop being so negative and such a downer. One of these hacker's getting caught is an accomplishment,as that rarely happens. that's like saying arresting any criminal is'nt an accomplishment because there's thousands of them on the street. You have to keep trying and trying to fight crime and these hacker's. You can't just sit back and say have at it everybody. 


Actually what he's talking about... is if you read the Update... you find... he wasn't a hacker at all.

He was a hacker, just not a LulzSec hacker.

I'm guessing the majority of you didn't actually read the article. Basically some random guy was caught that they thought was a part of LulSec but isn't. Also with the access LulSec have to Sony's network things may get worse than the PSN outage.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

All it says is that he says he isnt the hacker. But who cares? Interrogate that SOB



Parasitic on 07 June 2011

I got excited.....then read the update saying that he wasn't from LulzSec......disappoint =/

That would've really been a wakeup call to them.


I never minded GeoHotz/Chokoloko and whatever peeps they associated with but......these LulzSec guys......definitely on the hate list.
