Newly surfaced court documents revealed that “Sabu” wasn’t the only hacker helping the feds; in fact after the FBI flipped an autistic hacker known as “Eekdacat” for his role in the 2010 Gawker hack, he helped nail “Kayla.”

The sentencing of Hector Xavier Monsegur, aka the LulzSec hacker Sabu, was recently delayed for the seventh time. Sabu pleaded guilty in August 2011, was turned into a snitch and helped sink the LulzBoat, but he was not the only flipped hacker helping the feds track down other hackers. Three weeks after Sabu was arrested, FBI agents arrested Thomas “Eekdacat” Madden, a 26-year-old man with autism.
