headquarters in Redwood City, California.

Hacker “Sabu” was an FBI plant for months
March 6 (Reuters) – Even as he urged tens of thousands
of Twitter followers to rise up and attack government and law
enforcement, the most wanted hacker on the planet was working
for the FBI.
New Yorker Hector Xavier Monsegur, 28, was exposed on
Tuesday as the person behind Sabu, the colorful leader of Lulz
Security, a much-feared and talented offshoot of the
cyber-activist group Anonymous.
