U.S. Arrests Alleged Computer Hackers
U.S. authorities are expected to announce
criminal charges later Tuesday against six
individuals associated with the online activist
collectives Anonymous and Lulz Security, according
to a person in law enforcement.
Those charged include individuals in the U.S. and
overseas and several people have been taken into
custody, according to this person.
FoxNews.com
reported Tuesday that three members of LulzSec, a
splinter group from the hacking collective
Anonymous, had been arrested and charges had been
brought against two others.
The charges are the latest development in a
global crackdown on high-profile computer attacks
for which some followers of Anonymous and LulzSec
have taken credit in the past year.
Those attacks include denial-of-service attacks
and computer breaches against corporations, banks
and government affiliates.
