AndrewC: Such as?
They hacked into Bethesda's database. Think that was their biggest (and probably only one that is worth mentioning) hack because they released working codes for Brink's DLCs.

They've gone downhill from there, with the DDoS attacks that a 2 year old kid can do.

(I do not support them one bit, but nor I support companies that treat our personal information like shit.)

They echo such points. They weren't (IMO) making them.

Weren't they for the fans?
AFAIK every non-fan thing weren't DDoses.

Vagabond: http://lulzsecexposed.blogspot.com/

Someone is lulz-ing them.
Proof that while you may be a good hacker, there is always someone better at it. I foresee a bunch of jurisdictional misadventures in the future.

In any event, I haven't found anything entertaining from the whole fiasco, just a bunch of immature people ruining everyone's time. And when they are sitting in a federal court listening to every single company representative and government official show evidence of their hacks, we'll see who gets trolled.

I'm trying to figure out why Twitter hasn't shut down their account.

They're just cowardly scum. Like the gang in Clockwork Orange but with a large group circle jerking them. They're behaving as they do because of the anonymity and the 'special' membership mentality. They are not heroes and they are not campaigners for social justice.

By their own words they hack an innocent person for laughs and possibly ruin someone's marriage or traumatise a child. This isn't a big company with anti-competitive or privacy issues being hacked but an individual who did nothing to deserve it. No benefit will come from hacking an innocent.

Whatever they claim they're just cyber-terrorists doing no good and should be prosecuted as such.

Honestly, if they weren't coming off as immature pricks (and actually using people's information as they claimed), they would have an actual good message behind all their attacks.

It isn't so much running around having lulz at people's expense. But to show the average consumer that these companies don't care at all about you. They won't even tell you if they've been hacked and your information was compromised. In a way enlightening the average internet to the failure of safety protocols by companies and governments.

That being said I don't think your average internet user will go "Hey, these guys are right. These companies are failing! Perhaps I should rethink my trust in these companies" but instead go "Hey, the government is right! We need a crackdown to stop people like this because massive regulations of the internet will surely weed them out!" which I think is the opposite of what their intended goal is.

That and being asshats anyway.

Lulzsec can't be that big of a deal if they're not stealing CNN's situation room with Wolf Blitzer repeating the information over to us throughout the day.

If AC360 doesn't care, I certainly don't!

JudasIscariot: Would you like it in leetspeak, English, or Polish? :P
With the way English seems to have degraded in recent years, aren't they all equally incomprehensible?

I don't recall Anonymous targeting individuals. Whatever message Lulzsec want to portray they've lost the moral high ground by targeting innocent individuals. I'm not interested in the views of arseholes.

Hackers can be very useful for getting rid of drm and soft-modding consoles but when a group like Lulzsec starts flexing their e-peen it makes them all look bad. If you know they may target you it makes me want the greater restrictions so I'm protected. Jerks like this set the cause back.

I had a look at lulzexposed and noticed that one of those guys is swedish. For a moment i considered driving over there, throwing him into my (missus') car, driving deep into the woods and beating him to death with my Amiga2000 keyboard (sturdy bastard). I can be there and back in about 8 hours, but I would have to dig the idiot a hole, so a couple of hours extra. Then i started realizing that I couldn't really be sure i had the right guy, and I can't live with having an innocent mans blood on my precious Amiga2000 keyboard.

These morons really get my blood pumping. I GET hacking into government facilities, unlocking hidden secrets and spying on FBI, CIA, KGB etc. but messing with the average citizen just for the sheer fun of making someones life a little more troublesome is so fucking aggravating i can't fully express it.

I announce jihad on these assholes. Thats the kind where i beat the shit out of them, NOT the kind where i hide away in my mothers basement and hack into and mess up their lives.

Cockcheese-eating, Dipshit motherfuckers

On the balance I agree, but unfortunately, in the US at least, the only way that people are going to care enough to insist that the government start regulating companies that handle PII in general is if they get hit.

Not that it makes the lulz seeking anything else, but unfortunately due to the completely inept nature of most Americans, it's the only way we're going to change.

Personally, I'm more pissed at the companies for being to cheap to properly secure their data. I can't personally comment on the quality of the incursions, but some of them have been pretty damned pathetic. Tantamount to entering an open door and grabbing the first stuff you see. Not that it reflects one way or another on the skills the the crew, but it shouldn't ever be as easy as an SQL injection.

Well the one million bucks question is: is this really members of lulzsec, or just some guy spouting randoms names or taking revenge one peoples he/she don't like.

The is the Internet, anybody can create blog and accuse anybody else of being a member of lulzsec, anonymous or any other group. (I wouldn't even be surprise if this blog was another of lulzsec "joke".)
