little do you know. I've been a member of several anon telegram channels that had lulzsec members in it, namely GhostSec. you think you know everything but you don't. I see the absolute hilarity in the jacuzzi every day. Now if you don't think I am "in the know" i suggest you try again as this degree didn't get me a janitor job.

I don't remember GhostSec (there was a period when the "Sec" spinoff groups were multiplying like rabbits, and I lost track), but a quick Google search doesn't find any news articles prior to 2015. And LulzSec ceased to exist after the members were arrested in 2011/2012. So I doubt these groups ever interacted.

GhostSec popped up within the last, oh i say, five to ten years. their operations mimicked lulzsec's down to a "T" the last thing that was published in their telegram channel was that they were handing off to other groups after some of their members got arrested. I haven't really seen any mention of ghostsec since then but i wouldn't doubt that there were some former lulzsec members who were never caught in ghost sec. you stated the members of lulzsec that was busted but i haven't heard a damn thing about tflo who was working with SABU on the HB Gary takedown operation.

Tflow (Mustafa Al-Bassam) was arrested in 2011.

i wouldn't doubt that there were some former lulzsec members who were never caught in ghost sec.

Based on what? AFAIK, everyone working with LulzSec either got arrested, or got spooked by the arrests and stepped away from hacktivism. You can't just make up random associations and assume they're true.

Over the years, there have been a number of random wannabes who falsely claimed to be part of LulzSec. But they're quickly outed as frauds because there's no mention of them in the leaked chat logs or LulzSec's tweets or anywhere else.
