AU IT security professional arrested; part of LulzSec

Posted on April 24, 2013 by Dissent

James W. Manning reports that a self-proclaimed leader of LulzSec known by the screen name of “Aush0k” has been arrested in Australia. And not surprisingly, the IT security firm he worked for as an IT professional has fired the 24-year-old.

Matthew Flannery was arrested after he allegedly infiltrated a government website earlier this month. No personal information was reportedly accessed during the attack.
