“Federal agents are set to question suspects in the U.S.
cyber hacking case and have linked online aliases
such as
‘mafiaboy’ and ‘Coolio’ to real names and addresses, the
Washington Post reported on Tuesday.”

“One of the suspects, whose online alias is ‘Coolio,’ lives in
the United States, the Post said, adding that this name was also
used by a person who defaced a company web site on Sunday.

A second suspect allegedly is a Canadian teen known online as
‘mafiaboy,’ the Post said, while the third is a male who allegedly
‘confessed’ to a staff member of the popular security site,
Attrition.org.”
