LulzSec consists of six core members.[21] The online handles of these six have been established through various attempts by other hacking groups to release personal information of group members on the internet, leaked IRC logs given to The Guardian, and through confirmation from the group itself.[26]
Sabu – One of the group's founders who seemed to act as a kind of leader for the group, often Sabu decides what targets to attack next and who could participate in these attacks. He may have been part of the Anonymous group that hacked HBGary. Various attempts to release his real identity have claimed that he is an information technology consultant with the strongest hacking skills of the group and a knowledge of the Python programming language.[26]
Topiary – Topiary is also a suspected former member of the Anonymous AnonOps, where he used to perform media relations, including hacking the website of the Westboro Baptist Church during a live interview.[27] Topiary ran the LulzSec Twitter account on a daily basis; following the announcement of LulzSec's dissolution, he deleted his own Twitter page.[26]
Kayla – Also identified as "lol" in LulzSec chat logs, Kayla owns a botnet used by the group in their distributed denial-of-service attacks. The botnet is reported to consist of about 8,000 infected computer servers. Kayla also may have participated in the Anonymous operation against HBGary.[26]
T-flow – The fourth founding member of the group identified in chat logs, attempts to identify him have labelled him a PHP coder, web developer, and performer of scams on PayPal. The group placed him in charge of maintenance and security of the group's website lulzsecurity.com.[26]
Avunit – He is one of the core six members of the group, but not a founding member. He left the group after their self-labelled "Fuck the FBI Friday". He was also affiliated with Anonymous AnonOps HQ.[26]
Pwnsauce – Pwnsauce joined the group around the same time as Avunit and became one of its core members.[26]
M_nerva – M_nerva, once a member of the group, leaked some of the group's chat logs to The Guardian. May have participated with LulzSec in the attack on Fox.com. In response to the leak, LulzSec published M_nerva's personal information and records of the illegal hacking activity performed with them.[26]
Joepie91 – Though he is one of the most frequent participants in LulzSec IRC chat logs, the group stated that he is not a core member. He arranged a number of fundraising campaigns for the group where supporters donated Bitcoin currency to them.[26]
Neuron – Neuron is not a core member of the group, but may have supported them by building software and taking part in some of their distributed denial-of-service attacks. He is thought to be an engineering student in the United States.[26]
Ryan Cleary – A 19-year-old from Wickford, Essex who was arrested by Metropolitan Police on 21 June 2011 and charged with violating the Computer Misuse Act and the Criminal Law Act 1977.[28] Though not a member of the group, LulzSec admitted that he did run one of the IRC channels that they used for communicating.[29]
