The FBI has managed to arrest two members of the notorious hacker group LulzSec, and to add insult to injury a third person is facing charges:
Cody Kretsinger, a 23-year-old from Phoenix, was charged with conspiracy and the unauthorized impairment of a protected computer, according to the federal indictment unsealed Thursday morning.
In another indictment, Christopher Doyon, 47, of Mountain View, Calif., and Joshua Covelli, 26, of Fairborn, Ohio, were charged with conspiracy to cause intentional damage to a protected computer, causing intentional damage to a protected computer and aiding and abetting.
The indictment says both men participated in a “distributed denial of service” attack on Santa Cruz County, Calif.’s computer servers in 2010, causing them to go offline. It alleges that the attack was carried out by the People’s Liberation Front, which is associated with hacking groups such as Anonymous.
