Hackers Select a New Target: Other Hackers
The hackers, calling themselves the A-Team, assembled a trove of private information and put it online for all to see: names, aliases, addresses, phone numbers, even details about family members and girlfriends.

But their targets were not corporate executives, government officials or clueless bank customers. They were other hackers.

And in trying to unmask the identities of the members of a group known as Lulz Security, the A-Team was aiming to take them down a peg — and, indirectly, to help law enforcement officials lock them up.

The core members of Lulz Security “lack the skill to do anything more than go after the low-hanging fruit,” the A-Team sneered in its posting last month.

1. I wonder if Lulz Security is having a change of opinion on the subject.
Assuming of course the A-Team actually posted Lulz Security's information. The A-Team could be Lulz Security playing a prank for all I know.
