Post-Shipwreck LulzSec is Cornered by FBI and Hackers - Leader Sabu Outed

The last tweet from the notorious LulzSec upon its disbanding reads: "What a coincidence. George Orwell was born on this day. (25 June 1903)"

However, LulzSec's disbanding on June 25 was not a coincidence at all. They were probably shaken up gazing at the shipwrecked "lulz boat."

"Not surprisingly, they are quitting. Lulzsec members are feeling the heat and are busy avoiding arrest. As predicted, the end of Lulzsec was inevitable. During this [past] week they tried to cover up themselves in order to avoid arrest by: regrouping with anonymous, creating the 'antisec' operation, falsely claiming the UK census was hacked as a 'red herring,'" stated Rob Rachwald, director of security strategy at Imperva on its blog.

Whether or not LulzSec have attempted to run away from hacking responsibilities by disbanding the group last week, the authorities have intensified their efforts in pursuing the notorious hackers responsible for hacking SONY, the CIA, the US Senate, PBS, FOX, NATO and many more.

LulzSec vs FBI & Hackers

Disbanding the group does not release LulzSec from criminal responsibility nor its hacker rivals' plots to expose them.

June 25 did "coincide" with increasing scrutiny from authorities and a brewing feud with hacking group TeaMp0isoN and lone hacker The Jester. Both hacker entities had threatened to expose personal information of LulzSec members.

FBI agents have raided the home of an Iowa woman Laurelai Bailey in search for clues about LulzSec members.

Bailey said the FBI stayed there for five hours, and confiscated her hard drives, a camera, and other equipment. The agents also asked her whether she could infiltrate the hacking community, indicating a particular interest in a hacker known as "Kayla." Bailey denied her involvement in any hacking activity, and she would not exactly be LulzSec's favorite person because she leaked the IRC logs detailing the HBGary Federal attack, reported PCMag.

Prior to Bailey's case, a U.K. hacker Ryan Cleary, 19, was arrested earlier this month in a joint operation between the U.K.'s Metropolitan and Essex Police force and the U.S.'s FBI. Cleary was reputed to be tied to LulzSec.

While FBI aggressively hunt down the hacker group, related law enforcement investigations are also apparently underway. A group called Backtrace Security has been hunting for LulzSec members since February, and assisting an FBI investigation since March, reported The New York Times.
