LulzSec hacking Group to Leak Hacked Info?
 
 

A member of hacking group Lulz Sec, Sabu, announced on Reddit that the group has "stashed" away 4 GB worth of email" the group took off the Sun's server, Computer World reported. 

According to Computer World, "The group originally intended to publish the email, but later decided against it, allegedly because they could have badly affected the court case against those involved in the scandal. It's not clear if the messages will be released when the case is over and who else except Sabu has access to them."

Computer World noted that "several people associated' with Lulz Sec have been arrested.

According to MSNBC, Sabu disclosed that he lives in New York.  MSNBC added that "his answers are not necessarily the truth."
