The alleged leader of the refounded hacker collective Lulz Security (LulzSec) has been arrested in Sydney after a cyber attack Australian government agency, police said.
"Last night, federal police arrested and filed charges against the self-proclaimed leader known Australian international collective called LulzSec computer," he told a press conference the head of the Cyber Crimes Unit, Glen McEwen.
The detainee is a computer 24 years old, who lives about 50 kilometers north of Sydney and worked for a security company.
Although his name has not been released, was operating under the alias "AusShock" and presented himself as the leader of LulzSec in Australia, according to Australian media.
The group Anonymous Australia today questioned the importance of the detainee and joked in a tweet that this is only an expert in DDoS (denial of service).
Craig Valli, Institute of Safety Research Cowan University, also questioned the alleged head of "AusShock" in LulzSec, told the broadcaster ABC.
"They do not have a defined command structure and generally does not have managers. Him (AusShock) could be only the leader of a cell, but usually this kind of powers are quite untrue," said Valli.
Australian police believe that the arrested person was operating on principle alone and infiltrated official domain to create a "back door" to access confidential information.
Authorities have not released the name of the agency allegedly attacked by "AusShock".
Hacking charges brought against the detainee, currently on bail pending the next hearing, on May 15, represent a joint sentence of up to 12 years in prison.
This is the first arrest in Australia of an alleged member of LulzSec, a group of hackers who ceased trading in 2011 after a 50-day campaign in which systems attacked the CIA, the FBI and various world governments, as well Fox companies, Sony and Nintendo, among others.
A LulzSec also attributed the attack that year several government entities portals Australia, as AusAid, as well as state and local governments, universities and schools.
According to experts, LulzSec consisted of six to eleven people residing in Australia, United States and United Kingdom and who had links with the famous group Anonymous.
The alleged leader of LulzSec, Hector Xavier Monsegur, known as "Sabu", pleaded guilty last year of attacking companies like PayPal and MasterCard and collaborated with the authorities.
The Reborn LulzSec emerged last year, a new group of "hackers" (interested in running computer systems without having it any criminal purpose).
The U.S. authorities and the UK have arrested and prosecuted several members of the latter organization, whose motto was "Laughing at your security since 2011" and boasted of "chaos" and "anarchy" that generated computer incursions.
