FBI target 2nd LulzSec hacking suspect
FBI agents have raided the home of a second suspected teenage hacker, this time in Ohio, following interviews with the British teenager Ryan Cleary who is suspected of being a member of LulzSec - the hacking group responsible for illegally downloading details of Sony Playstation Network users.
Nobody has been charged as a result of the latest search but local media reports suggest that the suspect is known within LulzSec as “m_nerva” but has recently fallen out of favour with the group.
An internal dispute within the group emerged after “m_nerva” leaked discussion documents with fellow hackers in a move contrary to their wishes, resulting in a threatening tweet from LulzSec’s Twitter account: "Remember this tweet, m_nerva, for I know you'll read it: your cold jail cell will be haunted with our endless laughter. Game over, child."
LulzSec remain adamant that Cleary acted merely to host a chatroom for them and that they have disbanded the group in order to re-join the wider hacking fraternity.
