Pastebin no longer safe haven for Hackers

Chris Burns, Apr 2nd 2012 Discuss [0]

The folks at the favorite info-dumping site of groups such as what once was LulzSec and the still very active Anonymous have announced they'll be cutting back on so-called "sensitive" posts. Pastebin has been a fabulous place for those with no wish to be tracked to their source to post information that could lead to law-breaking activities. That's not what the site was originally made for, but what it's become rather famous for over the past few months and years. The current owner, Jeroen Vader, has pledged to cut down on the amount of uses of the site which constitute "abuse" as set by their own rules. Read The Full Story

LulzSec’s Sabu set for witness protection and 122 year count dismissal

Chris Burns, Mar 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

There's been a seemingly rather large rift in the hacker world this week with former head of the Anonymous-associated team LulsSec is now being accused of "snitching" to the FBI on his comrades. A handful of LulzSec-associated individuals have been arrested in the past week, and the most recent bit of news has been in regards to the safety of Sabu, the supposed informant. A document outlining the extent of Sabu's cooperating with the Federal government was signed on the 15th of August and made public just recently, and today we're finding that it does include several lines promising witness protection to the former hacker should he need it once his deeds were done.

Consider this: LulzSec’s Sabu didn’t snitch

Chris Burns, Mar 6th 2012 Discuss [0]

Today the words are being skewed, accusations are being tossed around, and there’s no knowing exactly what’s gone on in a case that seems to have suddenly torn the hacker group LulzSec asunder. As the story goes, former top LulzSec man Hector “Sabu” Xavier Monsegur was until last year working with the loosely organized group of hackers and pushing their agenda on the world, no quarter given. Now it seems that his arrest this past June has turned into a guilty plea revealed today in an unsealed court document that points toward the idea that Sabu may have worked with the FBI to lessen his own sentence in exchange for giving up information that lead to the arrest of several of his former compatriots – but it’s not that cut and dry.
