2 Norwegian Teen Hackers of "TeaMp0isoN"Arrested By British Police (PCeU)
Earlier in last month MI6 arrested the leader of TeaMp0isoN code named "TriCk" along with few other active members who ware directly involved behind the Denial of Service attack on MI6. Now two Norwegian teenagers, aged 18 and 19, have been arrested in connection with the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on the web site for the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and for swamping British intelligence agency (MI6) hotline with automated Skype calls. These two hackers ware the active members of hacker collective TeaMp0isoN and MLT. These two suspects are arrested in Newcastle on Wednesday evening, and is being questioned about offences under the Computer Misuse Act. Computer equipment has been seized for forensic analysis - and no doubt investigators are hoping that they may find digital clues which could help uncover other suspected hackers. Erik Moestue, a Norwegian prosecutor, said "We have arrested the two we think were most important in these attacks, but we still want to talk to more people". The offence that the two stand accused of carries a maximum jail sentence of six years. "The case is still under investigation," added Moestue, noting that "It is still too early to say anything about the motive for the actions"
The authorities, no doubt, will be hoping to confirm that they have arrested the correct man. Certainly, MLT's Twitter account has been silent since 6:27pm on Wednesday evening. According to the authorities these arrest is part of an ongoing investigation by the Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) division of the Metropolitan Police into various hacking gangs who have made headlines in the last year or so.
TeaMp0isoN Threatened Authorities After Leader's Arrest
Few days ago a hacker collective group named TeaMp0isoN took responsibility of hacking into British intelligence agency (MI6). Immediately after the attack MI6 arrested the leader of TeaMp0isoN code named "TriCk" along with few other active members who ware directly involved behind the Denial of Service attack on MI6. But the story is not over yet. The official twitter account of TeaMp0isoN issued a warning that it will fight back against the arrest of its members.
The group linked to a Pastebin statement with a call for other hackers to unite in attacking law enforcement agencies.
Message of TeaMp0isoN:- "We've lost the first and most important member of our team; our founder, our brother, our family member. Most importantly we lost a fighter for freedom, a fighter against corruption. He strived for justice, and constantly fought against oppression and corruption, to help spread awareness on humanitarian causes, and now, he is no longer with us. Most of you think that this is end of TeaMp0isoN and that this is end of our fight. We're glad to shout: ################################# #_ITS NOT OVER, IT JUST STARTED_# #_ITS NOT OVER, WE ARE STRONGER_# #_ITS NOT OVER, WE ARE UNITED_ # #################################
I ask you, a fellow hacker, as a blackhat, to rise, to unite and to fight. For years the hacking scene for the most part has been misrepresented by skids, who have inevitably led to the copious amounts of faggotry and butthurt which currently pollutes the scene. Whitehats continue to lurk and grow, and nothing is preventing them from disclosing exploits. As a collective we have to stop this, to ascend out of the underground and show the world we are not fucking around, something which TriCk firmly believed in. We, as hackers, have to unite to revive the blackhat scene, for TriCk... and everything that we stand for. Do you support TeaMp0isoN?

Earlier in this year MI6 arrested the leader of TeaMp0isoN code named "TriCk"along with few other active members who ware directly involved behind the Denial of Service attack on MI6 hotline. Few days later some other members of this hacker group tried to threaten the Govt while saying "it will fight back against the arrest of its members." But now all these efforts seems worthless because the leader of infamous hacker collective group "TeaMp0isoN" has pleaded guilty to stealing the address book details and other private data from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in June of last year. According to the sources Junaid Hussain, also known as "TriCk", has now admitted to hacking into a Gmail email account belonging an advisor to Blair by the name of Katy Kay.
Hussain, 18, from Birmingham, said that he used an ID "Trick" to access the aide's account and steal confidential data including addresses, phone numbers and email addresses belonging to Blair, his wife, and sister-in-law Lyndsye Booth, as well as Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of the House of Lords. Ben Cooper, Hussain's lawyer, told the court that the offences had just been a prank. After admitting to conspiracy and computer charges at London's Southwark Crown Court, Judge Peter Testar granted Hussain bail until sentencing later this month, advising him to be "under no illusions" that he may go to prison. Hussain has also confessed to taking part in and leading members of the hacker group to attack the UK national Anti-Terrorist Hotline with hundreds of hoax phone calls and involvement with hacktivist Anonymous in #OpRobinHood, #OpCensorThis and few more.
Junaid Hussain aka "TriCk" -Former Leader of "TeaMp0isoN" Jailed For 6 Months
Former leader of infamous hacker collective group TeaMp0isoN named Junaid Hussain also known as "TriCk" was sentenced to six months in prison for accessing the Gmail email account of former special adviser of Tony Blair and publishing details from her contacts database. Earlier in this year MI6 arrested the TriCk along with few other active members of TeaMp0isoN who ware directly involved behind the Denial of Service attack on MI6 hotline. Hussain had previously pled guilty to the conspiracy and computer charges which arose from the publication of phone numbers and email addresses of Members of Parliament and the House of Lords and a separate event which left the national anti-terror hotline "permanently engaged" for three days. Hussain has also confessed to taking part in and leading members of the hacker group to attack the UK national Anti-Terrorist Hotline with hundreds of hoax phone calls and involvement with hacktivist Anonymous in #OpRobinHood, #OpCensorThis and few more. "Hussain's actions were foolish and irresponsible," said detective inspector Stewart Garrick of the Police Central E-crime Unit. "Today's sentencing emphasises the seriousness of his offence and should act as a deterrent to anyone else who feels that they can act in such a manner."
'Royal Concierge' Secret Program of GCHQ to Spy Foreign Diplomats By Hotel Bookings Unveiled By Edward Snowden
Edward Snowden the American whistle blowers who is currently living in Russia under temporary asylum, after Snowden is considered a fugitive by American authorities who have charged him with espionage and theft of government property yet again uncovered what it called sensational information. This time he unfold a top secret program of Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency & US National Security Agency (NSA). In which they infiltrated the reservation systems of around 350 luxury hotels popular among diplomats and government officials with the help of a sophisticated program code-named "Royal Concierge" Royal Concierge designed to keeps tabs on foreign diplomats by monitoring their hotel bookings. This can include monitoring a hotel room and its guest by wiretapping the telephone and fax machine, gaining access to computers hooked up to the hotel network, or eavesdropping on the diplomat in the hotel bar. This surveillance program, uses a logo with a penguin -- meant to stand for the black and white uniforms worn by staff at top hotels -- wearing a crown, a purple cape and holding a wand. The top secret program automatically checked whether the e-mail address of a visitor on the hotel booking system matched with the address of his government and with this information the GCHQ could take the necessary steps to bug the concerned hotel room, to tap its telephones or to eavesdrop into the electronic data transfer, the news weekly said. Snowden said GCHQ has been using the search and analyse program for more than three years to track diplomats and government officials among hotel guests.
The above breathtaking information first came on a German magazine 'Der Spiegel' on Sunday. And this exciting leaks been provided by former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden. After this lurid information came to light, press asked questions to GCHQ, in response an official of GCHQ said "We are not going to comment on this report". But the entire conversation with Der Spiegel reporter with GCHQ officials came to the conclusion of GCHQ "neither confirms nor denies the allegation". On th other hand Britain's top spy chiefs reacted angrily to leaks by Snowden, a fugitive former analyst for the US National Security Agency, in an appearance this month before a parliamentary committee. Denying Britons were under mass surveillance, the heads of the foreign spy agency MI6, the domestic intelligence service MI5 and GCHQ warned that al-Qaeda and other enemies were "lapping up" intelligence revelations by Snowden and using them to change the way they operate.
Alleged Anonymous Member Arrested By Hong Kong Police Over Facebook Threat
This Sunday Hong Kong police had arrested a 21-year-old man after he reportedly said on social networking site Facebook that he would hack several government websites. Police said the man, who was later released on bail, was held on suspicion of "access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent" after he allegedly threatened to hack seven government websites between June and August this year. It has been found that the he man is a active member of the infamous hacker collective group Anonymous. The group is said to have 20 members in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, which guarantees civil liberties not seen on the mainland, including freedom of speech. Though the police spokesman declined to confirm his link to Anonymous. The last posting on the "Anonymous HK" Facebook page on July 22 urged authorities to show "respect" to citizens.
It seems that the time is not going good for hacker collective Anonymous. Few days ago key members ofLulzsec and Anon get busted by FBI. It is reported that the arrests were made possible after turning the group’s "senior leader", Hector Xavier Monsegur aka "Sabu", 28, who is believed to be a cooperative witness after the FBI turned him last June.

In February three Greek teenagers have been arrestedfor hacking into the Ministry of Justice website, also in January a 22 year aged student arrested in south-western Poland for allegedly hacking the prime minister's website and local authority said that he was a part of Hactivist Anonymous. We would also like to remind you the very decent past when few hackers from another hacker collective group named TeaMp0isoN get busted by MI6. Later the authority send the leader of TeaMp0isoN named TriCK behind bars. So after reviewing all the scenario, one summary is coming out and that is, not only Federal Authorities but also Governments from several parts of the world are no longer showing any mercy to hackers. Stay tuned with VOGH for all the cyber security related stories.
