14 DAY TRIAL // Up until now, everyone thought Hector Monsegur, aka Sabu, was the one who helped the FBI take down the LulzSec hacker group. However, newly released documents show that there might have been two others who were working with the feds.
On January 8, the day on which former LulzSec member Jeremmy Hammond turned 29, Anonymous hackers released several FBI search warrants related to the notorious hacktivist group.
The Daily Dot reports that the documents reveal the existence of two other informants, dubbed “CW-1” and “CW-2.”
One of them might be the hacker who used the online moniker “M_nerva.” On June 21, 2011, LulzSec accused him of being a rat. He’s believed to have helped law enforcement with the arrest of Ryan Cleary, a member of LulzSec from the UK.
Both CW-1 and CW-2 were arrested on June 29, 2011. Authorities detained CW-1 on credit card fraud charges.
