LulzSec hacker suspect is arrested in the UK. A British teenager, Ryan Cleary, has been arrested in a joint police operation in the UK and is suspected of being a mastermind behind the international computer hacking group LulzSec (aka LulzSecurity & The Lulz Boat). LulzSec has denied Cleary is a part of their hacker group via Twitter.

The arrest of the 19-year-old comes just days after the group claimed it brought down the US Central Intelligence Agency’s website, along with many other high profile government and corporate websites. Scotland Yard immediately launched an investigation and detectives from the force’s E-Crime Unit swooped in on the teen’s home in Wickford, Essex, on Monday.

The LulzSec Hackers targetting PBS. CyberWars. China hacking Google…again. What??? These are topics many of us struggle to get our arms around. At Wikileaks-Movie.com we are interested in all things Wikileaks and ourselves are working to learn more about the role of hacking and hacktivists in this story. This week’s news about the LulzSec “hack” into PBS sure got us thinking as has that “Hacktivism” of Anonymous. With this in mind we have attempted to put together our perspective and some resources for your review. Enjoy and please comment and contribute to increase the collective understanding of the hackers, hacktivists and associated concepts and terms.

Hacking the Focus of New U.S. “CyberSecurity” Strategy

May 31, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 2 Comments

Wikileaks-Movie.com Alert – New U.S. CyberSecurity Strategy. In recent days Hackers have made headlines. We’ve witnessed the LulzSec (or Lulz Boat) “Tupac” hacking of PBS after the WikiSecrets Frontline documentary was released. Also, the recent hacker attack on the systems of defense contractor Lockheed Martin, which provides critical equipment and resources to the US Military, has drawn major attention. Prior to these events there was the high-profile infiltration of Google (likely by China), Sony, and action taken by hacktivists associated with Anonymous who infiltrated HB Gary, PayPal and other companies who took action against Wikileaks. The new U.S. CyberSecurity Strategy will be introduced in June and early indications threaten serious military action against large scale hackers who can be identfied. Whether this strategy will address decentralized hacker networks such as LulzSec (The Lulz Boat) or focus on larger nation-backed hacking initiatives remains to be seen.
