Meet the Hackers

Susan Watts meets the Scottish teenager who acted as the PR man for a group of hackers called LulzSec and learns how he was drawn into a life lived almost entirely online.

In the summer of 2011, a small group of hackers called LulzSec, went on the rampage for 50 days. They caused chaos by targeting the websites of computer security companies, the media, police, and international law enforcement agencies, before most of them were arrested. In this week's Our World, Susan Watts meets the Scottish teenager who acted as the group's PR man and learns how he was drawn into the world of hacking and a life lived almost entirely online.
