American FBI agents have raided the homes of two US teens alleged to be 'The Deceptive Duo', a cracking team who have been defacing websites hosted by critical US infrastructure organisations such as the Federal Aviation Authority and Sandia National Laboratories.

The pair, who scanned US government systems looking for vulnerable Microsoft-based servers, previously stated their actions were to highlight the lackluster level of security among critical systems in the US, and to have the situation rectified before 'enemies of the United States' used it to their advantage.

According to this article, the pair - Robert Lyttle and another, known only as The-Rev – had equipment confiscated by the FBI. Federal authorities are handling the case, and charges are yet to be laid.
