A 19-year-old British man who remains the lone suspect detained for a series of successful cyberstrikes by the hacking group Lulz Security will remain in police custody until at least Saturday, a London court ruled Thursday.
WikiLeaks has applauded Lulz Security’s (LulzSec) denial of service (DOS) attack on CIA's CIA.gov website, with the Twitter account of the group tweeting that the CIA will now understand the meaning of “WTF” -- a reference to the CIA's WikiLeaks Task Force, which has been investigating the group's release of classified US government documents.
The U.K. National Health Service (NHS) said Friday that no patient data was compromised after an intrusion of one of its websites by Lulz Security, a hacker group that has recently stung organizations including a U.S. public broadcasting network and Sony.
The unpredictable motivation of hacking group LulzSec, who have claimed responsiblity for the recent attacks on Sony and Nintendo, means no one is safe, security experts have said.
