The UK police arrested Ryan Cleary, 19 years on charges of computer crime in Wikford - Essex, The young man has become a target of a complex operation carried out by the Scotland Yard after a series of attacks on English and American servers committed by a group called Lulz Security (LulzSec). In addition to their active attacks against the corporations PBS, FOX and Sony, serious intrusions are recorded in public institutions like the CIA, the FBI office in Detroit and the National Health Service in the UK.

Lulz proclaim that they operate on a non-profit basis, but for the sake of enjoyment. With the beginning of operation Anti-Security, they emiteed a political message too:

As we're aware, the government and whitehat security terrorists across the world continue to dominate and control our Internet ocean. Sitting pretty on cargo bays full of corrupt booty, they think it's acceptable to condition and enslave all vessels in sight. Our Lulz Lizard battle fleet is now declaring immediate and unremitting war on the freedom-snatching moderators of 2011.
