Hector Monsegur aka SABU was arrested on June 7, 2011. He became an FBI informant on June 8th. During his time with the FBI, Sabu is alleged to have prevented 300 cyber attacks on assorted government and media websites. His information led to the identification and conviction of at least 8 of his cohorts.
These are a few interesting tweets from his old timeline. The first tweet below is from the @freesabu account. It has just that one tweet.

If god forbid I am arrested, I’ll admit to my crimes, and take myself down. I do not believe in bringing others down for my own sins. Thanks 9:22 AM – 16 Aug 2011
The Real Sabu@anonymouSabuAn unnamed group sent me back the list of 800,000+ stratfor hashes with over 92% of the logins cracked. Thanks gents! #antisec
The stratfor hack is important on many levels. Think about the very point we had access to its userlist for months, now consider its users.
If you want to be technical we’ve had control over stratfor for months. Has anyone confirmed if any of their intel reports were compromised?
On December 26th, 2011, Stratfor was hacked
@BarrettBrownLOL if you do any interviews regarding stratfor attack. shout me, #antisec, dkline, the unix terrorist, @sn1ffle, + Steve Case

That Austin TV segment on #Stratfor is okay; they quote one of many points I made about the reasoning, at any rate. http://weareaustin.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=204927 …
