It seems you can't keep a top hacker down. After a month's absence, amid rumours that the law had finally caught up with him, Sabu, the leader of notorious 'hacktivist' group, Lulzsec, appears to have returned.

Lulzsec wrought havoc earlier this year by hacking major firms like Sony and America's Public Broadcasting Service. Sabu also claimed responsibility for hacking major US security firm, HB Gary, earlier in the year in the name of Anonymous. However, things quickly soured with associate 'Topiary' being arrested on a Scottish island and rival hackers posting detailed documents (called 'dox') supposedly exposing who Sabu was.

He then left a final Tweet: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone.

He was not heard from again until today when he posted the following: ATTN: I never left, I am NOT @AnonSabu or any of those posers. I wasn't owned, arrested, hacked or any of the other rumors. Go get lives
