The FBI arrested two alleged members of the hacking collectives LulzSec and Anonymous on Thursday morning in San Francisco and Phoenix and secured charges against a third suspect from Ohio, the Justice Department confirmed Thursday.

Search warrants were also being executed in New Jersey, Minnesota and Montana, an FBI official told FoxNews.com, which first reported the arrests.

One individual was described as part of the LulzSec group, the other part of the group that calls itself Anonymous, the official said.

The FBI has announced that it has arrested LulzSec member Cody Kretsinger, 23, of Phoenix, Arizona, known as "recursion," charging him with conspiracy and the unauthorized impairment of a protected computer.

To hide his identity when performing the attack, the FBI claims that Kretsinger used VPN service HideMyAss.com. In spite of this, activity was traced to an address in Arizona.

I can understand wanting to make a difference, but violence is never the solution. They turn into Internet Taliban playing God and that's just adding to the problem.

I sometimes respect their motivation but I rarely respect their methodology.
