A TEENAGER suspected of masterminding a notorious international computer
hacking group was being questioned today after a swoop by Scotland Yard and
the FBI.
Ryan Cleary, 19, is believed to have been a "major player" with LulzSec, a
hacking group linked with breach attempts at organisations including the UK'
s Serious Organised Crime Agency, the US Senate and the CIA.
Authorities on both side of the Atlantic have been trying to trace the
hacking group, which also claimed credit for security breaches at games
firms Nintendo and Sony, for several weeks.
The arrest of a Briton in relation to hacking attempts in the US will prompt
comparisons with Gary McKinnon.
McKinnon, 45, who is wanted in the US, faces 60 years behind bars for
hacking into Pentagon and Nasa computers between February 2001 and March
2002 while searching for evidence of "little green men".
Cleary was arrested in a "pre-planned intelligence-led operation" in
Wickford, Essex, the Metropolitan Police said.
American authorities were being kept informed, as the teenager was
questioned at a central London station under the Computer Misuse Act and
Fraud Act.
LulzSec is said to have established itself as a formidable splinter group to
Anonymous, the hacking group embroiled in the WikiLeaks fallout.
The group was believed to have initially targeted only US broadcasters,
including PBS and Fox, and gaming firms.
But the Twitter page LulzSec recently declared its intention to break into
Government websites and leak confidential documents.
There were no tweets in reaction to the arrest today.
Soca, the UK national law enforcement unit dubbed the British FBI, was
forced to temporarily take its website off-line yesterday after LulzSec
bombarded it with traffic to stop other users accessing it.
Security sources were keen to underline that no confidential information was
surrendered.
Cleary was arrested by officers from Scotland Yard's specialist e-crime unit.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The arrest follows an investigation into
network intrusions and distributed denial of service attacks against a
number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is
believed to be the same hacking group.
"Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest
last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material.
These forensic examinations remain ongoing."
The Met and Essex Police are working "in co-operation" with the FBI, the
spokesman said.
LulzSec has been known for several weeks to have been a subject of concern
among US authorities.
Steven Chabinsky, the FBI's deputy assistant director, told the Financial
Times last week that LulzSec and Anonymous were avoiding prosecution by
using the likes of Twitter to draw supporters under an anonymous guise.
Mr Chabinsky told the paper: "These organisations have managed to use new
technologies to connect to otherwise disenfranchised hackers to gather force
and momentum in a way we have not seen before."
The FBI is placing "a lot of emphasis and focus on Anonymous and other
groups that would be like them, through co-ordinated transnational efforts,"
he added.
Anonymous came to prominence last year when it launched digital assaults
against MasterCard, PayPal and other businesses that stopped working with
WikiLeaks.
No US arrests have been announced in relation to LulzSec or Anonymous.
Neighbours of the bungalow in South Beech Avenue, Wickford, where Cleary
lives with his mother and brother, described him as a "clever, well
presented young man".
Dorothy Rounce said she was woken by banging in the early hours of this
morning.
She added: "I heard car doors slamming so I looked out of the window and saw
a big car driving away with him in it.
"I didn't think anything of it - I certainly didn't realise it was an FBI
investigation or anything like that."
Her husband, James Rounce, added: "They moved in about ten years ago and
have been pleasant neighbours.
"I think he had been away at university and had come back for the holidays
or because he had finished his exams.
"You could tell he was very bright just from the way he spoke and presented
himself.
"I knew he was into computers because we would often take in parcels for him
and when I asked about them his mother said he was working from home and it
was something to do with IT."
Another neighbour said they first noticed a police car in the street late
last night.
She added: "We knew nothing about him. Most people in the street mix with
one another and chat but I couldn't even tell you what he looked like. He
always seemed to be inside." | l******n
