Australian police said the unnamed Australian man, who used the online moniker "Aush0k", was known to international law authorities.
His arrest comes a week after an American member of LulzSec, Cody Kretsinger, was sentenced in a Los Angeles court to a year in prison followed by home detention. Kretsinger, who used the online handle "Recursion", pleaded guilty in a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Court documents in that case revealed that Anonymous leader "Sabu", whose real name is Hector Xavier Monsegur, had provided the FBI with information on fellow hackers after pleading guilty to hacking offences.
Just goes to prove two things: 1) no one is truly anonymous, and 2) The idea(s) of Omerta or Honor among Thieves really are myths.
