The Hunt For LulzSec's Missing Sixth Member
DavidGilbert99 writes "LulzSec's star burnt brightly in the short period it was active, but things quickly turned sour when its core members began getting arrested. Last week three of the six core members were sentenced in the UK, but this only served to highlight the fact that one member of the group, known as Avunit, has been able to remain unidentified despite the FBI having turned the group's leader Sabu into an informant. Who is Avunit? And does he hold the purse strings of the group's Bitcoin wallet which could have up to $180,000 in it?"
As usual, be warned of the horrendous autoplaying video ads surrounding good content at the primary link.
Spartacus^H^H Avunit

If IBTimes wants to piss people off with autoplay videos, why link to them?
Here's El Reg's version of the same story:

Captain Pedantic here,
A "bitcoin wallet" has $0 USD in it, by definition.
Excelsior!
Only on
Given the general leakyness of the Lulzsec "organisation", this person has done well to remain unidentified.

Clever guy, he should add this to his resume, should get him far in security firms. He obviously knows very well how the Internet works. Just don't apply to a job at the FBI.
Pity the article is so short on details. How did he do it? Using Tor all the time or so? At least he's using Twitter apparently - and Twitter logs IP addresses. So must be doing something about that.
Why can't browsers tell me which tab or window (let alone frame etc) is playing sound and also offer a way to disable it? It's cause their customers are doing it. Oh well, I woulda expected better from Firefox.
How can the first post be redundant?
Moderation is going downhill nowadays...

Not a problem if you're running adblockers, noscript etc.
I opt IN for ads on the sites I wish to support, and I which I believe to be safe.
This feature is already in the latest Canary build of Google Chrome.
Well we use to have banking privacy. Banks knew who had the account, but your transactions were secret unless there was evidence of a crime in which case the bank could be forced to hand over the details.
Then as an anti-laundering measure, the data was given to SWIFT, and recorded by them, but that was OK because SWIFT was owned by the banks and would only turn over the data if evidence of a crime existed as they were under Belgian law.
Then the USA grabbed all of SWIFT's data post 9/11 deciding they should see every transaction made in the world.
Then the EU Commission *gave* them the right to receive all EU future data, after SWIFT moved their head quarters and servers from USA to Switzerland. So now the EU obtains the data from SWIFT and sends it to the USA.
Then the USA extracted some data related to tax havens, like British Virgin Islands and handed that to the press and gave all the rest of that data to UK and Australia. At the same time using the press stories to market the 'tax evasion' angle, and override the fact that a lot of privacy laws were broken when they handed private banking data to their allies.

So watch Bitcoin, because they'll declare Bitcoin trackable, and require forced declaration of all transactions to the USA. If you imagine they won't, take a look at SWIFT, if I send money from Belgium to Germany, the record is taken and handed to the USA, and that's despite the privacy law in the EU, and the criminal privacy law in Belgium and the financial privacy law in Germany.
At some point we all became criminals here in Europe, and the EU Commission decided it had the right to waive privacy, and we see 'leaks' of data on 'certain' politicians, but not others, as the USA gets to pick and choose who can be a politician by leaking their banking data to their allies.
an FBI agent provocateur responsible for directing this false flag operation to discredit online "hacktivism" everywhere. Look at the changed opinions on slashdot of "anonymous" before and after Lulzsec.
To anyone with any level of maturity "hacktivists" come across as nothing more than immature glory hunters trying to get noticed as they attempt to stick it to The Man and who simply make life difficult for the 99.999% of normal internet users who just want go about their fscking business without some teenager going through the standard issue rebellious phase trying to DDOS some corp because in his tiny mind he's making some highly original and deeply profound protest.

As usual, I have added img.ibtimes.co.uk to the blocklist.
What autoplaying video?
If content providers would stop the in-your-face stuff, I wouldn't need things like Flashblock or Adblock Plus. But they won't, and I won't stop using them.

House speaker Bohner is actually the 6th member. He is always hanging out in hacker bars and dressing like Neo from the Matrix.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
The data leaked to the press was a tiny file of a few gigs, 1%'er stuff about tax havens. The data given to the UK, Australia and USA FBI/IRS, was hundreds/thousands of times bigger and 100%'er stuff.
Your data too.
"I feel here is schadenfreude."
You wish.
And as long as this obviously dangerous cyberterrorist is still on loose, you'll all have to agree that certain civil rights...
Oh, the beautiful gloss of greality!
you know its true
they failed
for i exist
i shall always exist as long as a human draws breath
i shall exist as long as i can yell freedom
THEY failed because i spread the word to hold back
they failed because we knew....
WHat you need to know is why winston churchhill had one really awful day in world war 2 that helped him win.....
he's at John McAffee's place learning survival and evasion (and comparing recipes for 'bath salts')
That is, the real-world version of HOLMES IV's Mycroft. And the NSA's playing right into his hands, so to speak, by building that fantastic new processing center with direct access to all communications and data.
Watch out for falling rocks!
