... online gaming servers (by request of callers, not by our own choice)...
aka "the others are responsible, not we". Also seen in "GTA made me do it".
But what if we just hadn't released anything? What if we were silent? That would mean we would be secretly inside FBI affiliates right now, inside PBS, inside Sony... watching... abusing...
Note the one word where they stated what was intended - abusing. If targeting internet security of companies or the data they have about customers and the safety of it would have been even considered, there's no need for abusing.
Which pretty much blows each and every argument about "the internet becoming a safer place because of them" out of the water.
Do you feel safe with your Facebook accounts, your Google Mail accounts, your Skype accounts? What makes you think a hacker isn't silently sitting inside all of these right now, sniping out individual people, or perhaps selling them off? You are a peon to these people. A toy. A string of characters with a value.
Nope. Don't trust them, never did. But I definetely trust them more then any one at Lulzsec. Why? If shit happens they're responsible and you can call them out.
And we're aware of what we are for Lulzsec - in the best case a nameless sucker with only entertainment value, in the worst case a sucker with a sold creditcard nummer.
This is the lulz lizard era, where we do things just because we find it entertaining. [snipping continual self praise]
Sounds just like hooligans after a match.
We've been entertaining you 1000 times with 140 characters or less, and we'll continue creating things that are exciting and new until we're brought to justice, which we might well be.
Wow. Talk about padding your own shoulders or waving your epeen around.....
Newsflash for Lulzsec: you're not entertaining, you're not creating and definitely it's nothing new you're doing. You've just broaden the scale, that's all.
This is the Internet, where we screw each other over for a jolt of satisfaction.
Enjoy your 15 minutes fame. I'll enjoy the satisfaction once the system comes crashing down on you.
It was nothing, bitches.
