LuzSec, the hacker team, that caused havoc back on plenty of websites in 2011, is almost disbanded with the capture of one more member.

Ryan Ackroyd is based in England and few members captured earlier were also based from the same country. It’s interesting to note that Ryan Cleary was the mastermind behind the entire operation which has been all but stopped.

He attacked Sony and Nintendo websites in 2011 and the team later said they were fans of Nintendo and ceased attacks on them. Ackroyd is 26-years-old and will be sentenced on May 14, along with his mates.

The other hackers that were captured are named Jake Davis, Mustafa Al-Bassam and Ryan Clearly.

Sony was the target of a massive hack but it’s not clear if they were the same team to hack the PSN, as Sony had a beef with Anonymous which is another hacker group.

Notorious hacking group LulzSec, who’ve recently intruded on the networks of various organisations, have had a major member apprehended by the police in Essex.

The 19-year-old is believed to be one of the masterminds behind LulzSec’s widespread attacks on international businesses and intelligence agencies.

The arrest comes ever so slightly late with the group having supposedly brought down the CIA’s website, along with other ganing companies such as MineCraft, Eve Online, The Escapist and Bethesda.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and distributed denial of service attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group.

“Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing.”

Let’s hope this puts a stop to the recent cyber terror that seems to be occuring.
