Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hydras-die-easy-right dept.

An anonymous reader writes "British police have arrested a 19-year-old man believed to be 'Topiary', the official spokesperson of the LulzSec hactivist group. The man was arrested at his home in the Shetland Islands earlier today (July 27), and is being transported to a central London police station." Also today, LulzSec has called for a boycott of PayPal saying “We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative.”

    Bitcoin is a great alternative. Bitcoin wiki has a huge list of stores and services from wide array of areas that accept BitCoin.

    I would boycott them because paypal sucks. They're one of the dirtiest business out there. They make other banks look saintly.

    Paypal sucks, I've been boycotting them for some time. Lulzsec also sucks. I might open a paypal account after seeing this.
