Time may be running out for the members of LulzSec as police continue to 
step up their inquiries into the hacking group.

On Monday, the U.S. Federal Bureau of investigation executed a search 
warrant at a Hamilton, Ohio, residence -- a raid that local media has 
linked to the ongoing investigation of LulzSec. The raid comes two days 
after LulzSec ended a 50-day hacking rampage by posting internal 
documents belonging to AT&T and data stolen from gaming forums and a 
NATO website.

Reached by telephone Wednesday, Michael Brooks, a spokesman with the 
FBI's Cincinnati office, said a raid had occurred Monday at an address 
on Jackson Road, Hamilton, but he would neither confirm nor deny that 
the arrest is linked to LulzSec. The warrant in the case is under seal 
and the name of the person questioned by the FBI has not been released.

Last week, police in the U.K. arrested Ryan Cleary of Wickford, Essex, 
thought to be the operator of the group's IRC (Internet Relay Chat) 
server, and they have also reportedly questioned another person, 
Laurelai Bailey, in connection with the group.
