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”.

Ryan Kavanaugh the 36 year old US film producer of more than 30 movies, founder and CEO of Relativity Media, and Hollywood rising star has been the subject of an article researched and written by Matthew Garrahan for Slate. Garrahan states that Kavanaugh who had raised via Wall Street firms billions of dollars to fix the broken entertainment industry, had invested into 100 plus movies released via Sony and Universal Pictures, and managed to make many enemies in the industry as a result. Kavanaugh had undertaken a high stake legal battle with Citibank over their attempt to change the terms of a contract with Sony Pictures that Relativity had negotiated. The fallout from the legal suit was damaging to Kavanaugh as many banks would no longer do business with him.
