The Hacker Who Betrayed His Crew

LulzSec became infamous for embarrassing global giants like the CIA, yet their downfall was orchestrated by their own leader. The group founder turned informant to avoid prison time, leading to a string of arrests.

Operating under the handle Sabu, Hector Monsegur led a spree of high-profile cyberattacks that mocked corporate security. Behind the scenes, he was caught by the FBI and forced into a double life as a federal mole. He spent months secretly feeding information to authorities while continuing to coordinate with his unsuspecting team. This dramatic betrayal eventually dismantled the entire organization from the inside out.
