Anonymous IRC hacker, Ryan Cleary Exposed !
The Hacker News

The 'Anonymous' collective named Ryan Cleary as the person responsible for breaching two of its own sites. The 18-year-old was accused of trying to bring down message boards used by Anonymous members to communicate with each other. Read Here

'We regret to inform you today that our network has been compromised by a former IRC-operator and fellow helper named "Ryan",' a post on its AnonOps site said.

'He decided that he didn't like the leaderless command structure that AnonOps network admins use. So he organised a coup d'etat.'

Mr Cleary was accused of stealing passwords and targeting the network servers used to keep Anonymous's websites running.

'This is not a joke, this isn't a lie, this is the truth and we are sorry for that,' the post added. A later update showed a screenshot of a 'revenge attack' that gave the alleged culprit's full name, address and phone numbers.

Anonymous is still under attack. Going to AnonOps.net diverts to a page with the title 'LOL ANONOPS DEAD' followed by some rather unpleasant language.
