LulzSec Bait-and-Switch of the Day: Scotland Yard arrested key LulzSec member “Topiary” yesterday … or did they?
DailyTech is reporting that there’s plenty of evidence pointing to the possibility that the 19-year-old suspect in custody is a troll framed to take the fall for the real Topiary, who remains at large in Sweden.
Supposed LulzSec dox released last month list Topiary as Daniel Sandberg of Sweden (pictured above in an Anonymous press interview), and a chatlog released by hacker (and sometimes-rival of LulzSec) th3j35t3r (“The Jester”) appears to reveal that Sandberg stole the “Topiary” identity from “a troll” last December in an effort to misdirect law enforcement.
“Just hoping that they’ll take the bait. The f**ker has been using Topiary for like a year, trolling everyone for no reason. So now we troll him, hope he’s getting raided,” Sandberg says in the log.
This evidence should all be taken with a grain of salt, because chatlogs and dox are pretty easy to fake. There’s a strong possibility that the police arrested the correct Topiary, but there’s also a chance that they didn’t.
