The London Metropolitan Police on Wednesday arrested a 19-year-old Shetland Islands man who they say is “Topiary,” the most visible figure in LulzSec.
The
police news release doesn’t name the suspect. The bust is the second high-profile arrest of an alleged member of the six-man hacking gang. British police last week arrested a 16-year-old they say is “T-Flow” — another prominent member. In June they arrested 19-year-old Ryan Cleary of Wickford, Essex, who allegedly ran an IRC channel used by the group.
LulzSec’s leader, “Sabu,” remained active on Twitter Wednesday morning, but did not immediately acknowledge the arrest of his purported frontman.
