UK police, with FBI help, just arrested two more LulzSec hackers. They hacked under the username "Kayla," who was considered one of the highest-level LulzSec hackers. Garrett E. Moore and his fiancée Karen Rose Shinaver, have been supporters and associates of Kayla for a long time.
Garrett and Karen share an apartment in or near Lansing, Michigan, and she is a senior network administrator at Liquid Web Inc in Lansing. She works a four-day week from 10 pm to 8 am. Her account there was used to sign up one of my email addresses for spam on May 24 at 12:24 am EDT. I recently had to stop using that address because of all the Viagra spam, as well as lots of spam in Chinese characters, that's still coming in.
Garrett and Karen (aka "Kaeroseen"), who both help keep encyclopediadramatica.ch going, are depressed over this latest arrest. Last night Garrett tweeted to Kayla (aka "lolspoon" on Twitter): "@lolspoon We miss you already, I hope this is bullshit. Kaero and I are here for you. <3"
There was no answer, of course. An hour later Garrett (aka "KnownCyberbully" on Twitter) tweeted this: "The Internet is dead, go home folks."
By the way, I'd stay away from Liquid Web Inc hosting. I informed management there about the Karen, Garrett, and Ryan connection last May, a month before Ryan was arrested, and provided proof that Karen's account was involved. Management's only response was from "Clinton H" (he wouldn't give his surname), the "Support Manager" at Liquid Web. All he said was, "Signing anyone up for a mailing list without their consent is against company policy and we are dealing with this issue internally." ( What about LulzSec, Mr. "Clinton H" at Liquid Web? Don't you care about that? )
Ms. Shinaver still works at Liquid Web. In my opinion, their due-diligence and security isn't very good — I certainly wouldn't want Ms. Shinaver to have access to my dedicated servers!
