Alleged LulzSec hacker pleads guilty
The accused LulzSec hacker Cody Kretsinger has plead guilty today to charges related to the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Kretsinger plead guilty to one count each of conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer in his deal.



The hacker had previously pleaded not guilty.

Kretsinger was arrested last September, months before the recent raid on the "leaders" of the group. The hacker had been charged with conspiracy and the unauthorized impairment of a protected computer and pleaded not guilty at the time for both counts.

Known as "recursion," the hacker admitted to hacking Sony Pictures via SQL injection.

    Is this the guy that rolled on all his buddies?

    If you think ratting out a Gang member is bad, I can only imagine what the hackers would do to this guy...

    "But the bigger point here is that UMG has effectively admitted this takedown was never about copyright. They demanded YouTube censor Megaupload and justify that by saying they have a contract which allows it so its fine. Its painfully clear what they would do with a law like SOPA that gives them much more power"

    What would they do, all these seem to be able to do is use the laywer collage databe for the doxing, which any lawyer in the USA can use even students.

    Or

    Try to inject some SQL programing to grab data out of a database, even though the guy's computers probably aren't connected to thenet anymore.

    Or

    DDoS a bunch of brizalian sites because DDoSing the USA sites is too hard when they come back up again after 2 mins.


    Which one do you think they'll do.

    People just need to learn when your on the net everything is tracked/logged at every point you hit along the way, to think otherwise is utter nonsense.

    The net as it is today was made to be like that from the very start so thing would work fluidly.

    overlap visually rather than being shown side by side so you cannot easily read the description in both appointments. Is there a setting somewhere than can change this view?photo retoucher,
