14 DAY TRIAL // A few days ago, a former member of TeaMp0isoN, Hex00010, revealed to us that the dox they released on Sabu and the LulzSec collective last summer were used by the FBI to make the big arrest everyone is familiar with.
However, TeaMp0isoN doesn’t agree with Hex00010’s claims, so they come forward to clarify the situation.
In an interview we’ve had with TriCk, the leader of TeaMp0isoN, he explains why Hex00010 was kicked off their team, making clear that they had no involvement with the FBI on the apprehension of the alleged LulzSec hackers.
Softpedia: You told us that you don’t agree with what Hex00010 said about Sabu’s “doxing”, but TeaMp0isoN did make his identity public. Right?
TriCk: Yeah, last year we did. Me and iN^SaNe doxed him. Hex was part of our team at the time.
24hrs before we leaked the dox to the public, Sabu’s Myspace that we had found got disabled/deactivated - and the only people with his Myspace link were Me, iN^SaNe and Hex.
From that day we knew Hex was working with Sabu, so we always kept him on a certain level and didn’t trust him. We used him for our own benefit.
Then when we released Sabu’s dox, which were 100% correct. Nothing happened to Sabu, he wasn’t arrested or anything. So we knew he was either working with the feds at the time, hence why he wasn’t arrested or he had fled.
And now he’s been arrested. It clearly shows that he was snitching back then.
Softpedia: What do you think about other reports that say Sabu was “doxed” by someone else before TeaMp0isoN released that information on him?
TriCk: 2 other people "doxed" him before us. One of them was some whitehat group, and if you read their dox the only thing they got right was the name. The location in their report said Sabu was in Portugal.
And the 2nd dox said he was in NY, but that dox had the wrong name. If you compare our dox to the recent articles about him you will see that our dox were correct.
Softpedia: What was the actual thing that made you kick Hex out from the team? Was this it, or was there something else?
TriCk: We’ve always been wary of Hex, but never had 100% proof that he was giving info out or doing anything against us until recently when Phantom had a court case (not hacking related) and had to pay a fine/bail.
We helped Phantom raise the money and Phantom used hex as a middle man to transfer the money to him. Hex ran off with the money so we doxed him.
We have a 4hr recording of him in his shared apartment/flat telling his mates about scamming Phantom and how he’s going to use the money on cocaine. In the 4hr conversation he talks to his drug dealer how he scams some 16yr old girl who’s trying to be a model.
Basically he’s a hardcore addict and is [expletive] with people and scamming them to pay for his drug habbits.
We used this 4hr recording we have against him and bullied him into giving Phantom his money back.
Softpedia: The reason for coming forward is because you don't want the name of your team associated with Hex00010?
TriCk: Yes. We didn’t need to speak out against the recent Sabu drama. We don’t need the attention, we’re hacktivists and everything we do is for a reason.
We had no reason to brag out the recent Sabu drama until hex stepped forward and started [expletive]-ing and mentioned us.
Hex is just a sad addict, who writes fake exploits, scams everyone he comes in contact with, he does everything for money and e-fame.
Softpedia: Is there anything else you want to add?
TriCk: We didn’t give any information to the FBI. We don’t condone in feds. The only time we’d ever contact the feds is to get someone swatted/raided which would also waste fed time, but would never snitch.
We only doxed Sabu to prove he is not "anonymous" and that he’s some script kiddie DDOS-ing random sites.
