Five 'top LulzSec hackers' to face charges in New York The five were either under arrest or being sought, a law enforcement official said. Unconfirmed reports claimed the five had been turned in by their leader, known as "Sabu," dubbed one of the most powerful hackers in the world today. It is not yet clear what the allegations against the alleged hackers are, but they are expected to be revealed in court on Tuesday. The group also goes by the full name Lulz Security. Hackers associated with the group have claimed to be responsible for a variety of cyber attacks on big companies, law enforcement and government agencies - including Fox News and the CIA. The law enforcement official spoke on condition of anonymity because the charges have not yet been officially announced. LulzSec is a spin-off of the loosely organized hacking collective Anonymous. Its members attained notoriety last May by attacking the website of the public broadcaster PBS and posting a story claiming that the slain rapper Tupac Shakur was alive and living in New Zealand. Some alleged associates of the group are already facing charges elsewhere. An English teenager, Ryan Cleary, was arrested by British law enforcement in June and charged with being linked to the group. In July, an alleged LulzSec spokesman, Jake Davis, was arrested in Scotland.
