I'd say there is quite a difference between working <i>for</i> the FBI and as the title says working <i>with</i> the FBI.<p>According to the article the case here seems to the latter and not as the title here make it seem the former.
Friend of friend of friend told that somebody he knows was arrested in Europe and extradited to USA with fraud charges. Initial sentence prosecutor was asking was something like 30-40 years. Recently I find out that this guy's sentence was reduced to 8 months for cooperation with FBI (and on top of it he have to reimburse some pretty significant amount of money to US government or something like that)...<p>So... Not that bad if you start cooperate with FBI. I would expect most of LulzSec gang to be disclosed pretty soon (except ones, who had enough wise to not disclose their private info to this guy from article)

Has this been confirmed? Can it be confirmed? This is Fox News, which is not a reliable source of information to me, especially not about anything related to technology. What is the chance that they just wanted a good press release on a slow news day and the FBI decided to play along?
I heard the best term for these Anonymous crackers by someone interviewed on NPR today. "Lynch mobs". Very apt. He was describing them as people who go out to lynch those they don't agree with.
