Second LulzSec Suspect Charged in Sony Pictures Hack

Another LulzSec member has been arrested in the attacks on Sony Pictures Entertainment back in June 2011. The first suspect was arrested last year and faces sentencing in October. The attack on Sony breached 38k accounts where the attackers reported the breach was in the million range.

The Associated Press and other news agencies said Rivera, who went by the handles "wildicv," "neuron" and "royal," breached Sony's database using a SQL injection attack and then posted confidential information on its Web site.

Everytime I hear about hacker arrests, I'd imagine it'd be like a scene right out of the beginning of the hackers movie where they knock the door down and storm the building like it was a crack house. I wonder what the fines and penalties are for this kind of crime.

The funny thing is these kids think they're so good at what they do, but I bet they were fingered within a week and it takes a year to gather enough evidence to make sure the charges actually stick.

22 and 24 years old. Those are 15 good years.

Those are some wonderful years they flushed down the toilet.
