Lulz Security on a hacking spree today

[Stephen]

Excuse me? please read other posts.

"Marketing" clearly told me to "go and DDoS ClubHabbo or something"

I clearly said i've done better? ;s

"ive done better" sort of comes under boasting

[DPS]

well yes... anything better than DDoSing... is easy lol... not hard to DDoS ;s

[peteyt]

Sorry but these people need a life. While I'm not a fan of hacking, DDoSing or anything at least it appeared anonymous had reason.

Lulz Security just seem to me a group of people still living at home with their parents, probably in their basement, with nothing better to do than to annoy people by taking down websites just for a laugh.

These people are trying to prove they can do better e.g. FBI, but if the FBI can track down terrorist hackers, I'm sure some of these idiots will get caught.

Actually, LulzSec are really greyhat hackers. They do it for the lulz (blackhat) but also they expose major security flaws, e.g. Sony, NHS (who they helped fix) (whitehat).

I agree with them exploiting massive companies etc, not so much DDoSing sites for the hell of it.

But didn't they apparently release a load of passwords. If they really cared about simply showing security flaws, they'd show they could get the login information, but not do anything with it. Hacking it and actually making the login information public shows that they simply want to cause as much damage as they can simply for as you say the lulz - even that word makes me think they are just kids that need to grow up.

I don't see why people are defending them. I had a conversation with someone and even if they took down MineCraft which the person uses they wouldn't mind apparently, because it would be funny. But if it was your own website or something you relied on and needed, you wouldn't be laughing.

Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now... wait... we're all still here! Which poor ******* did they take down?

lmao

When Lulz Security, or LulzSec, first appeared in May, the group portrayed itself as a light-hearted organisation, bent on creating online fun and Lulz (laughs)


loooooooooooooool oh my god i can only imagine my mum reading this and repeating this sentence in every day conversation

Whatever happened to the days people would write a friendly letter or email telling others of security threats and exploits? It's like shooting a dog in the foot to prove to a walker that walking on an angry farmer's land could lead to you and your beloved pet being shot to death, but with these they shoot it and attempt to help heal the leg, when really a quick "I wouldn't do that if I were you" would of sufficed.

I'm going back to the 1950s, and taking the internet with me.

so apparently the guy that got arrested ran the irc

So they've basically arrested the messenger? It's not a huge arrest, might explain why it's not really talked about
