Anonymous Hacker Arrested After British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) Hack



According to a news release by Scotland Yard, officers from the Police Central e-Crime Unit (PeCU) arrested the man, who has been linked to the Anonymous hacktivist group, at an address in Wednesbury in the West Midlands. The suspect was a 27 Years old man who has been charged for defacing and hacking into the website of Britain's largest single abortion provider. Official website of The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) was compromised yesterday, with a message from a hacker calling themselves "Pablo Escobar". The hacker claimed himself as a part of Anonymous. BPAS claimed that there were "about 26,000 attempts" to break into its website over a six-hour period. 

For a certain period of time yesterday, visitors to the BPAS website saw an anti-abortion message. In a series of tweets, someone using the name "Pablo Escobar" claimed that the names of women who had undergone abortions had been accessed from the BPAS site, and would be released today (Friday). It appears that the authorities moved quickly to reduce the possibility of personal details of people who had contacted the BPAS site being made public.

This month is going worse and worse for Anonymous and their supporters, 1st Operation Unmask by Interpol, then FBI arrested all the key members of Lulzsec with the help of former Anon leader Sabu and so on.
