LulzSec's Sabu speaks about life on the run
One of the reclusive leaders of the infamous and disbanded LulzSec hacking group gave an online interview in which he spoke candidly about life as a wanted online criminal, the achievements and future of his former group and his fears that one of his colleagues will eventually bring him down.
In the interview, part of an ongoing "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit, Sabu revealed that he is married, speaks three languages fluently — English, Spanish and German — and began as a self-taught hacker in 2000. Although his answers are not necessarily the truth, it appears Sabu is Puerto Rican, 30 years old and lives in New York City.
In fact, Sabu may not fit the stereotypical "hacker" mold. He said he enjoys working on cars, playing music and spending time with his family. "I'm loving life a lot this year," he said. "I barely have time for ops [hacker operations] like I used to." So what keeps a 30-year-old happily married man dedicated to the shadowy underground world of hacktivism? Sabu, also a member of Anonymous, said he's driven by one all-encompassing idea. "Revolution runs through my veins and it's thicker than blood," he said.
