Scotland Yard arrested two more alleged members of hacktivist groups Anonymous and LulzSec last night for offenses against the Computer Misuse Act of 1990. Among those arrested was "Kayla," who is thought to be a key LulzSec figure. These arrests are part of a series of arrests made by British, U.S. and other authorities in an effort to crack down on hacking groups.

Many security experts say that "Kayla" was behind the attacks of HB Gary Federal LLC, a Californian based Internet security firm, which dates to the start of LulzSec. "Kayla" was  also an active member in Anonymous as well. 

From The Wall Street Journal:

The arrests relate to a probe "into a series of serious computer intrusions and online denial-of-service attacks recently suffered by a number of multinational companies, public institutions and government and law enforcement agencies in Great Britain and the United States," said Detective Inspector Mark Raymond in Scotland Yard's electronic crimes unit.
