Is One of the LulzSec Members a Staffer at Facebook?

According to this pastbin page, one of the LulzSec members is a Facebook staffer.

From the article:

57. Name: Sean Lynch
58. Occupation: Software Engineer at Facebook

The text that follows describes a chat session that ends up exposing the probable identity of group member Joepie91. Oops.

A few other members are identified as well. I keep mentioning to colleagues how hacking has become a sport. I think articles like these, both for and against LulzSec and Anonymous, prove it quite well.

Read this article for a more appropriate response to LulzSec's behavior.
