The Hunt For LulzSec's Missing Sixth Member

Posted by Unknown on Monday May 20, 2013 @07:13PM from the imaginary-hackers dept.

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.

Captain Pedantic here,
A "bitcoin wallet" has $0 USD in it, by definition.
Excelsior!

  As a matter of fact I never directly used Bitcoin.
  Because you're not goofy.
  Personally, I do all of my transactions in Darknet Credits, which is the new monetary system based on reputation and righteous deeds. I can't actually buy anything, but I'm in on the ground floor.

Your computer is broken.
It's not my computer, it's a work one, but yeah, you're right, it's running Windows and IE.

The FBI has just cracked 7 proxies. You have to use 8 now.

Why do you think it appears to give intelligent reactions?
