LulzSec

"Have you ever felt so angry at a company that you wished its website was hacked to shreds, but you didn't have the technical expertise required? Here comes LulzSec to the rescue. The marauding hackers, with their huge and growing list of conquests -- including PBS, the FBI and the U.S. Senate, pornography and gaming sites, and most of all, Sony -- opened a hack request line during their latest merry jaunt, Titanic Takeover Tuesday."

'A DDoS attack left EVE Online offline for around five hours as part of an operation called Titanic Takeover Tuesday. CCP Games, the firm behind the popular multiplayer game, said that it took both EVE Online and its own website offline as a precaution, fearing that the DDoS attacks could act as a smokescreen for deeper penetrating assaults.'

LulzSec has appeared from nowhere to become the most notorious hacking group on the planet with attacks on FBI affiliates, Sony, the US Senate, a popular porn site and a string of gaming firms. Previous attacks have highlighted security weakness involving Bethesda and Nintendo.

I don't get the DDOS thing. It's not a hack; it almost seems like a face saving measure after a failure?

Lulz, sec. So what you're saying is that this isn't funny?

They brought the CIA's down a couple of times last night. They're just script kiddies, that are getting attention from people on Twitter/media outlets that pick up the story.

"People are saying our CIA attack was the biggest yet, but it was really a very simple packet flood. This is our biggest: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6443601/Sownage": LulzSec tweeted.

And finally, this makes me the happiest.

Now it's time to sit back, and watch the LULZ.

They should take down Second Life. I'd find it lulzy.

It is funny, but I completely agree with WW. DDoS is a last resort, which really just annoys the host for a little bit.

Still.

Lulzsec Strikes Again, Releasing Arizona Law Enforcement Documents

I love it. I absolutely love it. I'm not getting my IP address anywhere near it, but I love and support it wholeheartedly.

Apparently their 'leader' has been found out today. It's been plastered everywhere. Maybe it's misinformation or speculation, but who cares. It's a bit unnerving to sit in the IRC chat, no matter what steps you take to cover your tracks, they're definitely being watched right now.

Hopefully this is just another stunt, and LulzSec can continue being trolls.

The New York Times reports that the FBI knocked legit websites offline in its attempt to hunt down LulzSec and any affiliated hackers. According to the report, the FBI seized web servers during a data center raid conducted early Tuesday morning. Owned by Switzerland-based DigitalOne, the server seizure inadvertently took down websites owned by the New York-based Curbed Network, Instapaper and "tens" more.

"After [the] FBI's unprofessional 'work,' we can not restart our own servers, that’s why our Web site is offline and support doesn’t work," said DigitalOne’s chief executive, Sergej Ostroumow in a statement to his customers. He thought that the problem was merely a technical glitch with one of his Reston, Virginia-based servers at first until he was informed by a local that it had been removed completely from the data center.

In other news:

Anonymous and LulzSec combined for Operation Anti-Sec (Anti Security)

LulzSec disbands.

We're not quitting because we're afraid of the FBI, we're just bored, claim LulzSec hackers as they abruptly disband

News is a little old, but still relevant.

IMO, they have too much heat on them. They aren't done. They're just starting clean, which is perfect to keep yourself hidden.

Anyways, in Today's news:

Anonymous, AntiSec release more data from Arizona police


“In this second bulletin, we're dumping booty pirated from a dozen Arizona police officer's personal email accounts looking specifically for humiliating dirt,” a release from Anonymous’s AntiSec movement said. “This leak has names, addresses, phone numbers, passwords, Social Security numbers, online dating account info, voicemails, chat logs, and seductive girlfriend pictures belonging to a dozen Arizona police officers.”



The group also claims to have found more internal documents and evidence of a racial discrimination lawsuit against the police department.

Saying "we're disbanding" seems like a good way to get people to pay less attention to you. If they were actually disbanding, why would they bother making a statement saying as much?

Regarding the police, I feel sorry for the individual officers that are being affected by this, but I love the message that it sends. The state of Arizona tried to use its police force in a dehumanizing way, and now they are getting shit thrown in their faces.

Exactly. They are doing wrong for the right cause, and that I can stand for and support. I love their actions, and I do believe as well that they are using some sort of diversion to possibly misdirect investigators. I'm excited to see what Anonymous and Anti-Sec bring forth in the next few weeks/months.

They're disbanding because they got 0wned. A friend of mine just leaked this to me:

lololol

So did the Legion win again, or what? I'm lost.
If there are two things I want, it's for both Anonymous AND the government to be taken down. Too much law is bad, too much chaos is bad.

I could agree with that viewpoint, potentially.

In my opinion, the lack of law AND chaos alike, will allow us to view the *true* nature of individuals. It would simply be reduced to "Help, Ham, and Hurt".
In my opinion, the law would have minimal power, only capable of dealing with the most severe crimes (murder, theft, etc.), while it would have to be up to our own moral values to keep from falling into total chaos.

According to most online quizzes and such, I tend to be around True Neutral. I probably tend toward Neutral Good and Neutral Evil depending on my mood.

LULZ!

tango down.

So much for them "Disbanding" eh?

I wonder if LulzSec is actually a creation of the Government that they are using to scare people into going along with anti-privacy laws regarding the internet. I suppose I'm cynical enough to think that could be the case.

In all honesty, if I were in the government's spot, that's what I would have done.

I usually bounce between all three "good" types, on quizes. 3 results = Lawful Good 2 results = chaotic good, 1 result = neutral good.
