The Australian Federal Police have arrested a Sydney-based IT security professional for hacking a government website.
The self-proclaimed 'leader' of hacker movement LulzSec was arrested by police at his office in Sydney late yesterday and charged with three counts of unauthorised access to a computer system.
The unnamed 24-year-old, known online as Aush0k, resides in Point Clare on the Central Coast. Police said he worked at the Australian operations of a large international firm offering IT security services, but declined to name the company. Research by iTnews and SC Magazine has since discovered the man is Matthew Flannery, a low-level support consultant at Content Security.
