Lets see, theyve shut PSN down, hacked Nintendo, today killed so far Eve Online (which has me pissed as I play it), and minecraft, as well as a few other websites.

I think these guys just want to piss anyone off that plays video games. Which will probably backfire on them. Anyone want to LOIC their website?

/rant

Seriously though, doing this, isnt making them many friends. Lets see when they hack WOW.

Similar attacks by anonymous originated with attacking groups that supported the legal suits against Wikileaks...they took out credit card companies and PayPal from what I remember. That at least had some mentality behind it...even though it was still retarded.

Now they're attacking PlayStation for seemingly no reason...and their continued assaults are for nothing else than "because Sony sucks at fixing the problem"

This talks about some of their attacks today. The group is taking down websites on demand.

"They do it because they can. They hack sites to show how vulnerable said sites are. And yeah, I think they get off on it. Honestly, they're doing good work. Only fools leave personally identifiable footprints lying around the internetz. Stolen user data should be a good lesson to people."

"After hacking the British National Health Service, the group contacted the site's admins and alerted them of the security loop hole. "

"Right now they're just firing cannons at sites which are requested on twitter, it has nothing to do with security. If there is ever a reason why the internet get completely regulated, this is it. "

The money is the motive. Fuck with the money, it gets Ugly as Coyote. WoW servers have more dollars tied up in them than than any government entity.

Hack the Feds if you want info, but hack Blizzard if you want money.

"The celebrity hacking group Lulz Security borrows its name and aesthetics from the roiling message board 4chan. But now the group has declared war on 4chan and its users—many of whom identify with the hacking group Anonymous—pissing off the nerds who are most likely to support their online shenanigans. It's chaos in the internet's crotch: 4chan was down for much of the afternoon. Lulz Security, the hacking group behind well-publicized PBS and FBI-affiliate hacks, is openly taunting 4channers and members of Anonymous, even crowd-sourcing prank calls against 4chan's web hosting company via their hotline: 614-LULZSEC. In response, 4chan users launched an internet manhunt to track down members of Lulzsec. The conflict started, as most nerd fights do, over video games. Yesterday, Lulzsec engaged in a spree of hack attacks against gaming and gamers: They downed The Escapist magazine because some commenters said mean stuff about them, then took the games Eve Online, Minecraft and League of Legends—all 4chan favorites—offline. Lulzsec has demonstrated a strange fixation on hacking video game companies, hacking Sony repeatedly. And when they hit the game studio Bethesda, they gave it top billing over their "bonus" hacking of the U.S. Senate's website. (After all, the Senate didn't make the acclaimed Elder Scrolls series of roleplaying games!) But Tuesday's hacks went too far, it seems. Enraged 4chan users took to their anarchic /b/ forum yesterday and fired up the hivemind, intending to hunt down and punish Lulzsec members. "If you know who these fuckers are… phone the fucking FBI," read a widely-circulated 4chan poster. Before 4chan crashed, the hivemind had incorrectly identified a Maine newspaper editor as a Lulzsec ringleader. "You /b/tards realize that we are everything you've ever wanted to be? Damn furries," Lulzsec tweeted in response. (Most of their 4chan-baiting tweets have been deleted.) Lulzsec also made the more serious claim that they had infected "50%" of all 4channers' computers, turning them into zombies they would use to attack other targets. Why would Lulzsec, a splinter group comprised of former Anonymous members, piss in their own, already-filthy pool? This can be seen as the latest in an endless series of 4chan civil wars, which break out between users who disagree slightly about the correct way to fuck shit up on the internet. By attacking one of the few the things 4chaners actually like, Lulzsec out-4channed 4chan."

"(Reuters) - Japanese video game developer Sega Corp said on Sunday that information belonging to 1.3 million customers has been stolen from its database, the latest in a rash of global cyber attacks against video game companies. Names, birth dates, e-mail addresses and encrypted passwords of users of Sega Pass online network members had been compromised, Sega said in a statement, though payment data such as credit card numbers was safe. Sega Pass had been shut down. "We are deeply sorry for causing trouble to our customers. We want to work on strengthening security," said Yoko Nagasawa, a Sega spokeswoman, adding it is unclear when the firm would restart Sega Pass. The attack against Sega, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings that makes game software such as Sonic the Hedgehog as well as slot machines, follows other recent significant breaches including Citigroup, which said over 360,000 accounts were hit in May, and the International Monetary Fund. The drama surrounding the recent round of video game breaches paled compared to what PlayStation maker Sony Corp experienced following two high-profile attacks that surfaced in April. Those breaches led to the theft of account data for more than 100 million customers, making it the largest ever hacking of data outside the financial services industry. Sega Europe, a division of Sega that runs the Sega Pass network, immediately notified Sega and the network customers after it found out about the breach on Thursday, Nagasawa said. Lulz Security, a group of hackers that has launched cyber attacks against other video game companies including Nintendo, has unexpectedly offered to track down and punish the hackers who broke into Sega's database."

Open letter to LulzSec

Quote :

"Greetings, Gentlemen. The Game of Lulz is one i'm familiar with. I've been on the Internets for a long time, trolling and owning, defacing and DDoSing. You might say we share a kinship in being bastards without names. So when I say I understand why you do what you do, please believe me, as years ago I might have been a member of your cabal. A funny thing happened years ago. I stopped caring. None of the shit I used to play with was fun anymore. Toying with peons and watching them struggle to research for an almost-due term paper or trying to explain dirty pictures sent to an estranged family member suddenly gave me no pleasure. I couldn't even find the motivation to look for new forms of lulz. I just... Now i'm a different person. I know for a fact that if I could find now the person I was, i'd beat the shit out of him. Not because what he did was wrong, but because he wasted so much of my life. Now i'm enjoying the world in the ways I know it was intended for me. I'm doing things which give me a sense of fulfillment, meeting people and going places and learning things which aren't just lulzy but meaningful. I know it sounds pretty faggy but there's something I think you're missing. You've pwned my gaming. That's fine, i'll hang out with my friends in person. You've pwned my chattes. Ok, i'll just talk to them less frequently on AIM. It's not really making me mad, bro. It would have years ago. It probably would have inspired me to some nerdrage of epic proportions. But thankfully i'm not that nerdy anymore. Maybe what you're doing will have a positive effect in some weird twisted way. I hope something positive comes out of all of it for your own sakes. But regardless of how epic or lulzy your actions may be, they need to be reigned in. Not for my sake, or even for the sake of all the innocent newbs you inconvenience. Are you looking to get partyvan'd? You know it'll happen eventually, so I just assume that's your end goal. Kind of like the hackers of old who were looking for thrills in the digital landscape. Kind of like Barret Brown, addicted to heroin, not really giving a shit where his life goes. If you really want to end up pwnd by the pigs, this is the way to go. But you don't have to go there. You can still have really fucking good times, lulz, adventure on the high seas of LIFE. You just have to get off that puter your mommy bought you for christmas and find something to do with your life. Another thing i'd like to mention - most of these hacks? Kid stuff. Any newfag with metasploit and a fuzzer can trawl shitty sites and work their way inside. If you want a truly righteous hack, go after something which would fuck over The System, not just retards sitting in their undies playing Call of Duty. Stopping kids from playing games? Not lulzy. Stopping the most powerful people in the world from communicating? THAT would be lulzy. And for Allah's sake stop bragging about DDoS's. My little brother has a botnet. Alas, I don't think anything i'll say will register with you. I don't think you have the capability for anything complex because, to be frank, everything you've done has the signature of a child. You will eventually tire of this game because eventually you're going to grow up. Just remember when you do that it's not important what you do - it's who you are. So please, just take a moment and sit down, and i'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel air."

"A man, named locally as Ryan Cleary, 19, has been arrested in Wickford, Essex. Police have not identified him. On Monday the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) took its website offline after it was attacked by Lulz Security hackers. Scotland Yard said the raid followed a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. But they would not confirm it was linked to LulzSec. The raid in Essex had been a "pre-planned, intelligence-led" operation, said Scotland Yard. The teenager was arrested under the Computer Misuse Act and Fraud Act and is being questioned at a central London police station. He was arrested by the Metropolitan Police's e-crime unit. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and distributed denial of service attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group. "Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing." The teenager's mother spoke to BBC Radio Essex and confirmed her son had been arrested at 0330BST on Tuesday. She said he had been obsessed with computers since he was 12 and added: "Computers were his world." Scotland Yard is co-operating with the FBI as well as Essex Police. An FBI spokesman said it had no comment "at this time". Channel 4 News claimed LulzSec may have succeeded in hacking into the database of the 2011 Census, which holds details of every UK citizen who filled out the survey earlier this year. But the Office for National Statistics has released a statement saying: "We are aware of the suggestion that Census data has been accessed. We are working with our security advisers and contractors to establish whether there is any substance to this. "The 2011 Census placed the highest priority on maintaining the security of personal data. At this stage we have no evidence to suggest that such a compromise has taken place." 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). But LulzSec is said to have been planning to establish itself as a rival to Anonymous, the hacking group embroiled in the WikiLeaks fallout. LulzSec initially targeted US broadcasters PBS and Fox and gaming firms. But the Twitter page @LulzSec then declared its intention to break into government websites and leak confidential documents. LulzSec is also suspected of hacking into CIA, Sony and NHS websites."
