We have identified Sabu as Visigod aka Hugo Carvalho from Portugal but Visigod claimed on our blog that he got nothing to do with LulzSec hacker Sabu. Visigod also said he sold the domain "prvt.org" to a guy called Xavier in November 2009 and sent us the email conversations as proof.
Our conversations with Visigod here - http://lulzsecexposed.blogspot.com/2011/07/job-done.html
Present Episode
We have analysed the emails and here is the "Kick-Ass Special Report"
Reference 1
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/view-e-mail-message-headers-HA001230300.aspx
1. The practice of providing false information in message headers is a growing problem. This is also known as spoofing.
2. X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 12.0.4210
This information indicates that the message was sent by using Microsoft Office Outlook with a build version of 12.0.4210.
Reference 2
http://www.slipstick.com/exs/versions.htm
Outlook 2010
14.0.4760.1000 - Released to Manufacturing April 16 2010
Outlook 2007
12.0.6341.5000 - February 24, 2009 pre-SP2 Cumulative Update
12.0.6504.5000 - SP2
12.0.6510.5000 - June 30 2009 hotfix - see KB 970944
Based on the above references
1. Email headers can be spoofed
2. One can identify the mail program and time period of the build by checking the X-mailer of email headers.
The emails sent by visigod are dated from June 25, 2009 till Nov 16, 2009. According to visigod, this is the time period he owned prvt.org domain.
First email sent by Xavier to Visigod after winning GoDaddy Auction is dated on Thu 2009-10-29 04:00 PM
The X-Mailer is Microsoft Outlook 14.0
Visigod sent reply to the email on Thu 2009-10-29 11:17 PM
Even here the X-Mailer is Microsoft Outlook 14.0
- Whether GoDaddy sends email to Visigod or Xavier sends email to Visigod or Visigod sends email to Xavier, all X-mailers are Microsoft Outlook 14.0
- IP headers are missing in the emails sent by Visigod. When you save the emails, you get complete headers including IP's.
FACT - X-mailer build "Microsoft Outlook 14.0" was released on April 15, 2010.

All the emails sent by Visigod aka Hugo aka Sabu are FAKE and SPOOFED
Thank you for playing with Ninjas and confirming that our DOX are 100 percent correct.
You could fool the world and reporters with your stories but not NINJA'S. Daniel aka Topiary also tried to fool us two weeks back in a similar fashion but miserably failed and now We caught you BUTT NAKED.
Hugo - You challenged some one on twitter to extradite you from Portugal. Take our word, It won't be a BIG DEAL for the Law Enforcement.
Having said that, Get ready for the Party Van. Our "Game Over" list is waiting for you. .....ROFL....

Hello Xavier,
We now must wait until godaddy allows me to transfer the domain to you. The domain is locked and I cannot do anything with it. Usually this takes about 10 days. In the meanwhile if you want I can redirect the domain to you, just tell me which nameservers you would like to use.
Best regards,
Hugo Carvalho
