Feds bust another LulzSec hacker
Having some lulz at the expense of another company’s security probably seemed like a better idea before it resulted in a possible 15-year jail sentence. Per the Telegraph, U.S. authorities on Tuesday arrested 20-year-old Raynaldo Rivera of Tempe, Arizona on conspiracy and hacking charges related to a hack of Sony (SNE) Pictures’ computer systems. Authorities allege that Rivera and fellow members of the LulzSec hacking collective raided the Sony systems to obtain the names, email addresses, passwords and phone numbers of thousands of people who had registered for various Sony contests. One of Rivera’s alleged co-conspirators, 24-year-old Cody Kretsinger, pleaded guilty to hacking charges related to the Sony attack earlier this year.
