Today, the 28-year-old Chicagoan pleaded guilty to conspiring in the keystone attack of the short-lived Lulzsec/AntiSec era, a damaging December 2011 intrusion into the servers of the private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting, Inc.

Also stolen were 5 million email messages, which have been trickling out of WikiLeaks ever since.
