LulzSec turncoat Hector Xavier Monsegur, known as Sabu among fellow hacktivists, waged a proxy cyber war against 30 governments worldwide, including eight Middle East nations, while working as an informant for the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Daily dot reported.
The names of the countries had previously been kept secret. According to the Dot, redacted court documents were deciphered by cross-checking them with leaked IRC (Internet Relay Chat) logs, to compile the list.
Monsegur, 30, directed hacktivist Jeremy Hammond and other Anonymous affiliates to attack the countries, which the Dot says include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Turkey, Sudan, India, UK, Australia, South Africa and the Philippines. Hammond was arrested in March 2012 and sentenced to 10 years in prison in December 2013, largely based on evidence given by Monsegur.
