Essex geek 'is Sony hacker’
Ryan, 19, arrested over global cyber attacks.
A NERDY teenager was arrested yesterday on suspicion of masterminding a global computer hacking operation from his bedroom.
Oddball student Ryan Cleary, 19, was held by cops who swooped on his mum's home in Wickford, Essex.
He is thought to be a leader of
LulzSec, a group claiming responsibility for hacking into Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency and the US Senate.
Geeky Cleary is also suspected of being the brains behind hacking raids on computer game giants Sony and Nintendo - and America's CIA secret service.
He allegedly did it all behind the closed curtains of his bedroom at his mum's extended bungalow. And a computer expert said last night: "It's the true nature of the internet that Wickford could be the centre of a global hacking movement."
Reclusive Cleary was arrested by cops yesterday in a "pre-planned intelligence-led operation".
The swoop was part of a joint investigation by Scotland Yard and the FBI.
