Note: These arrests are connected with the PayPal/Visa/Mastercard DDoS attacks organized by Anonymous/AnonOps, and have nothing to do with Lulzsec/Antisec or any of the major breaches.

It may seem that this is unrelated to Lulzsec but why do you think the feds have a fire under their ass these days?

Fun fact: a large portion of computer-related busts happen when the Feds catch some low hanging fruit, lean on them, then roll up their accomplices.

Step 1, acquire low-hanging fruit. Check....

This seems related to Lulzsec[1], though maybe indirectly.

I hear from a user on another forum that a guy on his dorm floor got arrested and had previously bragged about participating in an attack on a group who opposed the food drive in Orlando that got shut down (user hasn't mentioned hearing about involvement in anything else).

Rule #1 states you do not talk about Anonymous.

Anyone who is dumb enough to brag about something that can land them in jail deserves to go to jail.

OK, not anyone, but bragging about stuff you can be arrested for is still stupid.
