Lulz Security, following their 2 month long hacking spree, tweeted in their farewell release, that they are 6 members. Previously they said that 19 year old Ryan Cleary, held by Essex Police and charged with the attack on the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) website, only played a marginal role.

Lulz came to the attention of the authorities with their attacks on the CIA public website. By  10th June, they had notified the NHS that they had also breached a number of their systems and obtained Administrator Passwords.

An Undertaking to comply with the seventh data protection principle has been signed by Lancashire Police Authority (LPA). This follows the inappropriate disclosure of personal data on the LPAs website containing sensitive personal data.

A UK teenager, under suspicion by police countering online child sexual abuse and exploitation, has been jailed for 16 weeks for not disclosing his password to investigators.

Police were unable to crack the password, thought to be of a 50 characters which even after the conviction they still cannot access.
