Two men, aged 20 and 24, have been arrested by British police in connection with a series of internet attacks orchestrated by the Anonymous and LulzSec gangs.

Hacktivist groups like Anonymous and LulzSec weren’t responsible for the most data breaches in 2011. They did, however, steal the most records from users last year, according to a new report.

2011 was the year of the hacktivist. 100 million users saw their data compromised by hacktivist groups such as Anonymous and LulzSec. Out of an estimated 855 data-breach incidents recorded last year, only around 25 were attributed to hacktivists.

While their activities accounted for just 2 percent of external breaches, they stole 58 percent of all the 174 million records stolen last year.

More online attacks are committed by cybercriminals, but hactivists steal more data, according to a new report.
