LulzSec jokes, taunts about its hacks

[DainBramaged]

Lulz Security, a secretive group of hackers that has conducted a series of high-profile cyberattacks, says its actions are all for laughs.

Lulz Security, often referred to as LulzSec, breached Web sites for the CIA, the Public Broadcasting System and the U.S. Senate. It also claimed to have played a role in attacks on Sony, which had its PlayStation Network offline for about a month, but that remained unclear, CNN reported Friday.

"Lulz" is a morph of "lol," Web-speak for "laughing out loud."

The group's most recent strike was a distributed denial-of-service attack Wednesday that shut down the CIA's Web site for a few hours.

Instead of hiding, LulzSec brags about the attacks on its Twitter page, with taunts, crude jokes and hints about future attacks, CNN said.

They have hacked hundreds of thousands of email address and password, shut down gaming servers, wrecked Sony online, went after EVE on line, hacked the servers of the new game RIFT, along with many other non-government sites. They seem to enjoy wrecking havoc on the people who deserve it the least.

1. Why don't they make themselves useful and go after Westboro Baptist Church or something? n/t

2. They hacked into a major porn site, distributing the emails and passwords of the users

and encouraging others to test them on World of Warcraft, Facebook and Twitter. I'd say these folks are nothing more than juvenile because other than the CIA hack (which will get them a lot of attention now) they are destructive not constructive. They accessed PayPal, Amazon, Facebook and other accounts from the list.

3. LulzSec is actually the real Anonymous.

The current day "Anonymous" is now mostly a group of Anarchist web activists who aren't that technologically sophisticated..

4. They are hurting normal people, not the corporatists.

And part of the list is from Writerspace.com. Does that make it OK?

5. Bunch of kids sitting in their parents basement.

*Yawn*

Why are we giving them attention, again? That's really all they want, anyway.
