Sabu to continue aiding FBI
The founder of hacking group Lulzsec, Sabu, has had his sentence postponed in order to continue working with the FBI.
Sabu - real name Hector Xavier Monsegur - encouraged Lulzsec members to hack websites including those of the CIA, Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), Sony Pictures Europe and News International during the summer of 2011. But little did the group's members know that at that time Sabu was a double agent, working with the FBI.
He'd been co-operating with the authorities following his arrest in March 2011, allowing the FBI to monitor the activities of Lulzsec hackers leading to the arrest of several alleged members, including Jeremy Hammond, a suspected member of Anonymous thought to be behind the security breach of private intelligence firm Stratfor.
