lukesecTHE CROWN PROSECUTOR of the alleged hacktivist known as 'Topiary' has apparently revealed the name of the husband of infamous hacker Louise Boat to be Luke Sec. The INQUIRER can reveal exclusive pictures of this shady character.

At the court appearance of Jake Davis, who is thought to be 'Topiary', prosecutor Rav Chodha gave 15 minutes of evidence against him, including exposing the identity of the other half of Anonymous leader Louise Boat.

According to Forbes, Davis "grimaced" as Chodha named Luke Sec, clearly surprised that police had found out about him.

The INQUIRER managed to secure two photos of Sec, one in a pair of sunglasses, which our source said was typical of his style, and another from his wedding with Boat. To protect their identities we're showing artist's impressions of those photos.

It's believed that Luke Sec was one of the masterminds behind a slew of cyber attacks across the world, most notably when the personal web site of a 93-year-old woman was DDoS'd and subsequently redirected to a page about cats.

According to our source, who called himself 'Columbus' and is believed to have a connection with alleged hacker Ryan Cleary, Luke Sec is particularly interested in boating activities and reportedly has several yachts at his disposal, and possibly also a submarine. We were unable to confirm this report.

Luke Sec was originally outed last month in connection with Boat under the guise of 'Mister Ship', which clearly was a fake name to protect his identity. Boat was first exposed on Sky News, with The INQUIRER revealing exlusive pictures of the femme fatale shortly afterwards.

Initial reports suggest that the police are banging their fists on tables in front of Jake Davis, asking, "Who is Luke Sec?" Apparently they're not getting very far with this line of questioning. µ

Get lost, humor deffective people

One of the VERY REASONS I've kept this website on my read list for about... oh... 6 years already, is HUMOR. I've even contributed with a few articles to the Inquirer.

Keep up the good work guys ::- D. And don't mind the bashing some people who don't understand humor give you. Having a dull life can have adverse effects on one's sense of humor.

hmmm

I would say I agree with Lee on this one. It does seem to come across as a bit of a filler article?
