Two teenage hackers today confessed to attacking and compromising a wide range of organizations' systems as participants in the hacktivist group LulzSec.

According to news reports on the LulzSec plea, 19-year-old Ryan Cleary and 18-year-old Jake Davis pleaded guilty in a U.K. court to cracking the websites of the CIA, the Pentagon, and the British Serious Organized Crime Squad.

The two teens also confessed to targeting the websites of other organizations, including security firms HBGary, HB Gary Federal, and InfraGuard, as well as News International, Sony, Nintendo, Arizona State Police, and 20th Century Fox, primarily to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
