So Scotland Yard has, apparently, arrested LulzSec's infamous Topiary.  He is 19 years old.  The article goes on to talk about a couple of other arrests - of another 19 year old and a 17 year old.  Yeah, a bunch of kids that have no idea what it is they're trying to accomplish.  They do it for the lulz.  Some people's heroes, these guys are nothing more than really damaging trolls.

They did masquerade as a group of some kind of new age freedom fighters, though.  And a lot of people bought it.

Didn't it use to be the students that went out on the streets to protest whatever? Sounds like they're in about the same age category. They might very well have a clue.

Also quite telling that multi billion dollar corporations get their security defeated by a bunch of 19 year olds.

They don't have a clue.  If you attack Sony for doing something to limit the free exchange of information, attacking the Sun because Murdoch's peeps hacked voicemails is the opposite of what you should be doing - if you were to follow your goal.  They have no plan, there is no protest.  They're just kids being asshats for fun and notoriety.
