Two Lulzsec members plead guilty to hacking charges

Two members of the computer hacking group Lulzsec have pleaded guilty to charges they attacked several high profile websites, according to BBC News.

Ryan Cleary, 19, and Jake Davis, 18, admitted being part of Lulzsec, an offshoot of the Anonymous collective. They and two others – Ryan Ackroyd, 25, and a 17-year-old boy – deny other similar hacking charges.

Lulzsec claimed responsibility for attacking the UK's Serious Organized Crime Agency (Soca) website.

The group is also believed to have hacked computers operated by the NHS, News International, Sony, Nintendo, film studio 20th Century Fox, US public broadcaster PBS, and US computer security organizations HBGary, Black & Berg and Infraguard.
