I hope so. Bullying companies to do what they want isn't acceptable.

Well they have highlighted gross incompetence in some pretty big organisations.
After their time, they should get some pretty well paying jobs.

They've not updated twitter to say anything about it, so maybe they have got someone.

Only one ran the twitter?! I can't believe that. Or is a parrot about to appear?

Only one

I needed to put some more stuff in my post there, it didn't sound as sarcastic as I thought it did. Their arrest will probably make Lulzsec stronger. As with anything internet, it's like the Hydra.

An interesting post from anonymouSabu on Twitter earlier this morning. In short it's suggesting that the person arrested is not the 'real' Topiary, but someone LulzSec have set up. A trick they have apparently played before.
