Another LulzSec Member Arrested 211
hypnosec writes "Raynaldo Rivera, aged 20, suspected member of LulzSec, has been arrested for his alleged role in the breach of Sony Pictures Entertainment last year. The first suspect, Cody Kretsinger, has already pleaded guilty and was indicted last September according to the FBI. Rivera, who also goes by names 'neuron,' 'royal,' and 'wildicv', surrendered to authorities and he has been charged with conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer. The LulzSec member may be facing 15 years in prison if convicted."
On the member who pleaded guilty: "Kretsinger, who pleaded guilty to the same two charges now facing Rivera, is slated to be sentenced on October 25. A federal prosecutor said he would likely receive substantially less than the 15-year maximum prison term carried by those offenses."

Who do you jail when a company does something wrong?
That's the problem isn't it. The mistake these kids made wasn't committing crimes. It was commiting crimes without a corporation to hide behind.
Personally, I'd be in favor of jailing both the CEO who gets the credit for success and should bear responsibility for criminal failures, and the lowly tech who didn't go to the police when asked to do something illegal for his job. That would be far more just than letting the rich and powerful get away with crimes.
