A 19-year-old suspected of being a mastermind behind notorious international computer hacking group LulzSec has been arrested in Essex, after a joint operation by the FBI and Scotland Yard.

It comes just days after the group claimed it brought down the US Central Intelligence Agency's website.
The alleged hack on CIA.gov occurred on the same day the group opened a telephone request line so its fans could suggest potential targets.
On Twitter, the group wrote: "Tango down - CIA.gov - for the lulz".

This guys are doing some pretty good and serious shit, so it doesn't look like their mastermind is 19yrs old.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the mastermind of this group will have a bright future with some military/secret agency job. When they caught him
