Police in Australia have arrested a 24-year-old who claims to be a high-level member of the international hacking collective Lulzsec. The IT worker was charged with two counts of unauthorized modification of data and one count of unauthorized access to/modification of restricted data. In other words, he attacked and defaced a government website. Lulzsec was formed in 2011 and is a cousin to the hacking collective Anonymous, which has been known to hack a government site or two itself.
