According to media reports, the FBI has arrested two alleged hackers in San Francisco and Phoenix, believed to be associated with the LulzSec and Anonymous hacktivist groups. And one of them is homeless. FoxNews reports that search warrants have also been executed in the states of Minnesota, Montana and New Jersey as part of a wider FBI investigation into the groups who have launched attacks against government websites as well as corporations such as Sony.

23-year-old Cody Kretsinger, from Phoenix, Arizona, has been charged with computer offences, and is alleged to be the LulzSec member known as "Recursion". Kretsinger is accused of being involved in an SQL injection attack that stole information from Sony Pictures in June, exposing users email addresses and passwords.

According to the indictment against Kretsinger, he is accused of using the hidemyass.com proxy service to cloak probes he made of Sony Pictures' computer systems in May 2011, hunting for vulnerabilities.

Approximately 150,000 confidential records were subsequently published online by LulzSec who criticised Sony's weak security.

Authorities allege that Kretsinger wiped the hard drives used to carry out the attack on Sony in an attempt to hide forensic evidence.

"Recursion" is one of many handles used by members of the LulzSec hacking gang, and features in internet chat logs that have previously published of the group having what they believed to be private conversations.



Meanwhile, the FBI arrested an alleged Anonymous member in San Francisco. The man, who is reported to be homeless, is said to have been involved in internet attacks against Santa Cruz County government websites.
