02:39 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nA hacker group that has attacked several high-profile websites over the last two months has announced that it is disbanding.<\/p>\n
Lulz Security made its announcement through its Twitter account, giving no reason for its decision.<\/p>\n
A statement published on the group’s website said that its “planned 50-day cruise has expired”.<\/p>\n
The group leapt to prominence by carrying out attacks on companies such as Sony and Nintendo.<\/p>\n
Broadcasters Fox and PBS, the CIA, the United States Senate have also been cyber-attacked by the group, which also released confidential material taken from the Arizona police department.<\/p>\n
The group’s identities remain anonymous and its statement also said that “our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011”.<\/p>\n
It had previously told the BBC’s Newsnight programme that it wants to target the “higher ups” who write the rules and “bring them down a few notches”.<\/p>\n
And in an an interview with the Associated Press on Friday, a LulzSec member said the group had at least five gigabytes of “government and law enforcement data” from around the world, which it planned to release in the next three weeks.<\/p>\n
Ryan Cleary, 19, from Wickford, Essex, was arrested as part of a Scotland Yard and FBI probe into LulzSec and charged with hacking the website of the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
