The FBI is executing search warrants at the New York homes of three suspected members of notorious hacking group Anonymous early Tuesday morning, FoxNews.com has learned.

More than 10 FBI agents arrived at the Baldwin, N.Y., home of Giordani Jordan with a search warrant for computers and computer-related accessories, removing at least one laptop from the premises.

The raids at two Long Island, N.Y., homes and one in Brooklyn, N.Y., were ongoing Tuesday morning.

Jordan's system was identified as allegedly being used in a coordinated distributed denial of service attack against several companies, a law enforcement official told FoxNews.com.

The targets of the FBI searches are all in their late teens to early 20s

LulzSec and Anonymous hacker suspects arrested by US, UK and Dutch authorities​

Computer crime authorities will be hoping that they have struck a significant blow against the Anonymous and LulzSec hacking groups, following a series of raids and arrests on both sides of the Atlantic.

In the United States, 16 people have been arrested in connection with an internet attack last year against PayPal - an assault which was claimed by the loosely-knit hacktivist group known as "Anonymous", in retaliation for the website withdrawing support for WikiLeaks.

According to a Department of Justice press release, arrests were made in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio and the District of New Jersey.

In all, FBI agents executed more than 35 search warrants as part of the co-ordinated investigation.

In addition, the UK's PCeU arrested a 16-year-old youth known as 'T-Flow' in South London, on suspicion of breaching the Computer Misuse Act. The teenager is allegedly connected to hacks perpetrated by the LulzSec and Anonymous groups.

Finally, the Dutch National Police Agency arrested four individuals for alleged cybercrimes related to the case.

Do you think that this hackers could hack a financial institution and accesses their financial data?

Yes, they just need to do a social engeenering of an employee, use his access to the bank network and make small transactions.

I remember a fired employee of a bank who hacked its employer network and transfered all the non-used tenth of cents (like 10.0048$) in every accounts to one he created in an offshore bank. He was caught because he did the trick a second time (the bank increase his security after the first)... he was to greedy...

You have plenty of "small banks" or new ones with weak security.
