Hector Xavier Monsegur the 28 year old Puetro Rican unemployed computer hacker living in New York has been identified as ‘Sabu’, the notorious founder of the hacking group LulzSec, turned informant for the FBI. Monsequr has apparently been working with the agency for the past ten months, aiding them to identify other hackers of the group. Monsequr the father of two maintained his pretence till the end, even tweeting on the final day of his outing his opposition to the government as five members of his group were arrested and his identity disclosed by the FBI. Tweeting “The federal government is run by a bunch of fucking cowards. Don’t give in to these people. Fight back. Stay strong.” The LulzSec hacker goup of about 10 people began with an attack on the Fox website, then Sony Pictures, followed by companies involved with online games, and News International changing The Sun’s website’s front page. However the FBI became extensively involved once they hacked into FBI’s affiliated InfraGard, the CIA website, US Congress and the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency. Anonymous, another hacker group reacted to Sabu’s outing and betrayal of LulzSec on Twitter, “#Anonymous is a hydra, cut off one head and we grow two back”.

Clive Goodman the 53 year old former royal editor and reporter for the Murdoch News International owned 168 year old News of the World (NotW), has again come under scrutiny following the publication of a 2007 letter from him to News International that phone hacking was widely discussed at meetings of senior editorial staff. Goodman had been imprisoned in 2007 for four months pleading guilty to illegally intercepting phone messages. The letter was sent as part of his claim for damages against NotW for wrongful dismissal, and he was subsequently paid a substantial sum by NotW in settlements. Rupert Murdoch and his son James Murdoch now face further embarrassing new allegations of cover-up after the publication of the letter, and dishonesty in their evidence to the UK parliament committee hearing.
