Ryan Cleary's bedroom is exposed as a shocking hacker den

Lulzsec co-conspirator's lair is revealed
Fri Jun 24 2011, 15:02

THE BEDROOM of teenage hacker Ryan Cleary has been exposed as a shocking place where the sinister arts of sitting, elbow resting and possibly baking went on, as revealed by The INQUIRER.

Cleary, the UK teenager who was arrested and charged this week for alleged involvement with Lulzsec hacking activities, apparently operated from a deceptively non-descript beige bedroom with an alleged feline co-conspirator.

Some reports suggest the co-conspirator might not really be a cat, particularly if he is linked to the one in this Youtube video. Rumours that the unknown 'cat' is actually a reptilian have been discounted by the authorities, but they might also be reptilian.

The INQUIRER spoke to several local cats in the area, who were shocked to hear of this kitty's involvement. One local cat, Puss - not his real name - said that Cleary's cat was usually friendly and mostly kept to himself. We cannot reveal our feline source's true identity, however, as he is under the age of 18.

This shocking picture highlights the kinds of things that lead a youth into a life of cyber crime. Cautious parents are allegedly banning the use of desks, walls and cushions in efforts to prevent their children from falling in with bad cats and tripping down such a slippery slope.

Indeed

Indeed, Steve. That desk is unlived-in. I have a hard time believing that someone who eats, lives, and breathes computers, hacking, and the net would have a desk that clean.

Actually...

That room is very very suspicious... The bedroom of a teenage boy... That tidy?

Where's the pizza boxes, the porn stash, the Kleenex box? Oh, and bed!?

Come on, admit it, that's a bedroom set at Ikea!

Duh

I see he has one of those evil "assault" keyboards with no known sporting purpose. He should be locked up for the rest of his life.

Eh?

Improvised air-con system? WTF for? Is he running AMD Athlon 1Ghz overclocker to 1.6Ghz or something?

I'm sure I have far more impressive hardware in my room, and I don't need aircon beyond a desk fan, and that's only for 3 days of the year.

You only need aircon when you are running high density systems, like 1U rack mounts, and to be honest, the noise of them would be a bigger problem.

As for his mother who is on benefits, she's not now, she's just got a big wedge out of the Daily Fail (well I wouldn't let them in the house without a big cash incentive).

This is news?

What's the point? Do you expect a picture of a hacker's bedroom to have human heads mounted on the walls? More like Ikea, but that isn't what he was arrested for.
