One more member of the hacking group LulzSec, known as "Neuron", may be arrested if traced by their use of a British anonymous VPN , following a similar arrest last week of Cody Kretsinger, who was arrested by the FBI last Thursday for allegedly hacking into the Sony Pictures website, had been identified via his use of HideMyAss's proxy service to disguise his IP address when connecting to the Sony Pictures site.
However a pastebin log shows that "Neuron" claims to use HideMyAss's Service in order to protect his identity.HideMyAss also posted a lengthy note regarding this topic of their blog after this new emerged.
HideMyAss " It first came to our attention when leaked IRC chat logs were released, in these logs participants discussed about various VPN services they use, and it became apparent that some members were using our service. No action was taken, after all there was no evidence to suggest wrongdoing and nothing to identify which accounts with us they were using. At a later date it came as no surprise to have received a court order asking for information relating to an account associated with some or all of the above cases. As stated in our terms of service and privacy policy our service is not to be used for illegal activity, and as a legitimate company we will cooperate with law enforcement if we receive a court order (equivalent of a subpoena in the US).
