Ο Hector Xavier Monsegur, or otherwise Sabu, is already known as an informant of the FBI. A new publication by New York Times shows that it has orchestrated and directed US aggressive actions against the governmental websites of Iran, Pakistan and Syria.
According to recent statements made in court "under the table," Monsegur has also organized online attacks against the Polish embassy, Britain and Ministryof Iraq Electricity, after his arrest and during his cooperation with the FBI.
Monsegur became known for his role in Anonymous during the attack they carried out on the intelligence firm Stratfor. The activist Jeremy Hammond has been sentenced to ten years in prison for the same case. Needless to say, Jeremy Hammond's conviction rested heavily on Monsegur's testimony. However, new documents show that Stratfor was not the only target, and that Monsegur may have recruited members of Anonymous to do the US government's dirty work. It's still unclear whether the actions were directed by the FBI, another agency, or were simply part of a larger plan to catch the Anonymous hackers on their own, but court documents also show Monsegur's role was much larger than previously thought. until today. The FBI declined to comment on questions from The New York Times.
