Anonymous's hackivist?

His anonymity now revealed (just like silent majority making a statement, I thought)...

(Jake Davis outside a London court)

"Believed to be LulzSec identity, known as 'Topiary', the youth is suspected to be part of the international rebel hacking group, LulzSec, a spin off from Anonymous, who engaged in high profile cyber attacks on Sony PlayStation network, Nintendo as well as the NHS...

However, pictures of the teenager also brings home the fact that Davis is just a kid, despite being accused of sophisticated attacks on corporate giants like Sony, Nintendo, News International as well as government bodies like Soca and NHS.

Bail conditions include a ban on the use of the Net, a 7am - 10pm curfew and he must also wear an electronic security tag, reports Guardian.

He will reside with his mother in Lincolnshire during the bail period. Topiary's next court hearing will take place on August 30.

However, his grandad Sam Davis, 76, thinks police have the wrong man, saying the police raid was "dramatic and ridiculous" and said his grandson "did not know what he was doing."

"I just don't see him getting involved in anything criminal, he is not politically minded and I do not know why he would want to be a computer hacker. I am certain that if he was involved in something, which I don't think he was, then he did not know what he was doing."

The 18 year old is said to be autistic and home tutored, spending hours locked away in his bedroom talking to online friends, according to reports."
