" [9] On June 25, 2011, an anonymous pastebin post claimed to identify Sabu as Hector Xavier Monsegur,[10] a man of Puerto Rican origin.[11] Arrest and activity as an informant for the FBI[edit] Federal agents arrested Monsegur on June 7, 2011. The following day, Monsegur agreed to become an informant for the FBI and to continue his "Sabu" persona.[14][15] "Since literally the day he was arrested, the defendant has been cooperating with the government proactively," sometimes staying up all night engaging in conversations with co-conspirators to help the government build cases against them, Assistant U.S. The FBI attempted to use Monsegur to entrap Nadim Kobeissi, author of the secure communication software Cryptocat, but without success.[19] Monsegur served 7 months in prison after his arrest but had been free since then while awaiting sentencing.
Comment la taupe des Anonymous a envoyé ses collègues au trou. Anonymous pleure.
Le groupe de cyber-militants voit se multiplier les arrestations de ses membres. Lundi 5 mars, cinq personnes présumées appartenir à la mouvance des anonymes ont été arrêtées par la police fédérale américaine (FBI). Des arrestations rendues possibles grâce à une taupe, et pas n'importe laquelle : "Sabu". Le leader du groupe de hackers Lulz Security (ou "LulzSec") a retourné sa veste il y a huit mois pour devenir le félon des internautes masqués, livrant ses anciens compagnons d'armes.
Anonymous (group) Anonymous (used as a mass noun) is a loosely associated international network of activist and hacktivist entities.
A website nominally associated with the group describes it as "an internet gathering" with "a very loose and decentralized command structure that operates on ideas rather than directives". The group became known for a series of well-publicized publicity stunts and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on government, religious, and corporate websites. Anonymous originated in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan, representing the concept of many online and offline community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, digitized global brain.[3][4] Anonymous members (known as "Anons") can be distinguished in public by the wearing of stylised Guy Fawkes masks.[5] In its early form, the concept was adopted by a decentralized online community acting anonymously in a coordinated manner, usually toward a loosely self-agreed goal, and primarily focused on entertainment, or "lulz".
