Typical rat
you'd think a hacktivist group with such a resume would be better equipped to avoid being caught. It's probably a good time for some of them to re-evaluate who they think they can trust
your conscience doesnt absolve your guilt

Hackers love to hack, but they don't like to get caught and punished. The more of them that get caught, the better. I just wish I could see them crying about it.

There are skilled enough hackers that still won't get caught even with this rat. The rat has a point, if you good enough it don't matter what I tell the FBI as I don't know any of you personally.
All it is, FBI trying to play hide and seek with them and just so happen to have a gem up their sleeve. However, the best that gem can do is catch the amateurs that don't know how to properly triangulate their attacks so that it becomes untraceable.
Should be interesting times ahead.

The problem people don't think of is the other people they hang with, this guy has a wife and 2 kids.
Do you guys really think he'll be siding with lulsec just to keep other people "safe" while he gets screwed and the rest of the family gets screwed too.
lulz
Few people will ever do that, that geohot never did that and he didn't have kids and stuff.
Welcome to the real world anonymous, bit different to the net.

Sad, but not surprising. Being a father I don't get involved with that stuff BECAUSE i don't want it to affect my son. If i was single, with no children.....

lets think of lulzsec as a gang.here if a gang member gets in trouble and keeps there mouth shut they do there time and are looked after in jail and get out.if a gang member here cuts a deal and backstabs a gang they might escape jail time but they spend the rest of there life looking over there shoulder and receiving death threats thats if they dont get killed first.
lulzsec is a group or gang of hackers those that dont get caught might go on to something bigger and more powerful.one day they might be powerful enough to retaliate.

False.
In fact, NO attack is "untraceable"; you can only make it (hopefully) too expensive and/or time-consuming to pursue your trail. If you use an ISP, you are NOT invisible, period, VPN or no. Even using open WiFi is no panacea, although it does add another layer of difficulty. Pretty much the only reliable protection is residence in a country that is at least somewhat hostile to the victim, such as China vs. the US.
To put it simply, no one is Superman, sorry.

For one thing folks BallSac gave up on their stupidity some time back knowing full well that they were on the the way to being caught. Like any prison bitch rat being dangled above a cage full of real killers & rapists this sodomy enriched chew toy will do anything to keep his cherry ass out of the trade chain of the horror lock up 'forever Saturday Night'.
Like someone else said, He doesn't 'really know' any of the members on very much of a personal level. Truth be known, there may have been some measuring contests out there in cyberland, but it would have all been lies to some extents as well. So follow that trail would probably be fruitless as well.
BallSac is dead & has been for quite some time. Dancing this ass hat's photo on the internet & news media parade circuit isn't going to cause more members to start jumping out their windows to commence chanting their involvement with the hacktivist movement that did little else but prove college kids had nothing else better to do with their time while classes were out for the summer.

I really don't think this should have suprised anyone. Like said above this is the real world. Drug dealers and all other sorts of criminals roll on each other every day. Life isn't a movie. There is no honor amongst theives and no one is willing to go down with the ship. Not many anyway. The few exceptions are the suprise. Whether it's wise for them to do so is another story.
Just my $0.02,

That's the issue with hackers... they really aren't that good. While talented, if they were bright enough to use their talents more productively, they would be running profitable corporations instead of trying to bring them down.

Read Fox's profile of Sabu at the end of my article up top. Others interviewed said he was smart enough to run IT for a Fortune 500 company but he was just lazy and stupid about it.

My point since day one... Stupidity & a pawn. Use your 'rocks' to draw fire to cover your advancement or withdrawal. Simple field tactics to move your more important troupes about the combat arena. He's a f*k up & nothing more.
Cry not for the bowl of puppy shit he's served himself. It was easy, simple & cheap & his dub ass chose the easy road to follow just like every other Saturday morning 'reset button' moron that seems to think they're 'due' a life these days.
He's another wanna be 60s activist that knows nothing about sacrifice. He just wanted to be part of a group & get a thrill. Nothing more. Now that thrill has him WAY over his head & by the nuts with a vice like grip and not return; he can't take it.
Selfish putz... Spend a week with a military family trying to make it on a meager salary & then spend a week with a rebel & his family in Syria & talk about sacrifice or wanting to protect your family.
Such a putz...

Just when you thought racism was dead/dying, this idiot who probably feels the 1st amendment protects his right to write this kind of tripe, drinks so heavily from the well of stupidity that his very asshole serves as a water sprinkler for any other unsuspecting idiot racist troll willing to read/hear such slander gets hit with the dumbing/numbing idiot inducing spray.
Way to help keep up our great US - Foreign relations dick hole.

I'm never one to disappoint my audience. It's a shame I ruined my health to defend the right for someone like that to speak out like that.

It's a shame, I thought I put it all into a proper context... Otherwise, all the other visitors will think I'm going into politics...

Lot of harsh words for a crook turning in other crooks. There is no moral code among thieves. We, law abiding people,should be cheering, of the possibility they will not get into our computers. Seems to be a lot of love here for the criminals and thugs. Just ssaying!
