LulzSec

Apparently their 'leader' has been found out today. It's been plastered everywhere. Maybe it's misinformation or speculation, but who cares. It's a bit unnerving to sit in the IRC chat, no matter what steps you take to cover your tracks, they're definitely being watched right now.

Hopefully this is just another stunt, and LulzSec can continue being trolls.

The New York Times reports that the FBI knocked legit websites offline in its attempt to hunt down LulzSec and any affiliated hackers. According to the report, the FBI seized web servers during a data center raid conducted early Tuesday morning. Owned by Switzerland-based DigitalOne, the server seizure inadvertently took down websites owned by the New York-based Curbed Network, Instapaper and "tens" more.

"After [the] FBI's unprofessional 'work,' we can not restart our own servers, that’s why our Web site is offline and support doesn’t work," said DigitalOne’s chief executive, Sergej Ostroumow in a statement to his customers. He thought that the problem was merely a technical glitch with one of his Reston, Virginia-based servers at first until he was informed by a local that it had been removed completely from the data center.

In other news:

Anonymous and LulzSec combined for Operation Anti-Sec (Anti Security)

LulzSec disbands.

We're not quitting because we're afraid of the FBI, we're just bored, claim LulzSec hackers as they abruptly disband

News is a little old, but still relevant.

IMO, they have too much heat on them. They aren't done. They're just starting clean, which is perfect to keep yourself hidden.

Anyways, in Today's news:

Anonymous, AntiSec release more data from Arizona police


“In this second bulletin, we're dumping booty pirated from a dozen Arizona police officer's personal email accounts looking specifically for humiliating dirt,” a release from Anonymous’s AntiSec movement said. “This leak has names, addresses, phone numbers, passwords, Social Security numbers, online dating account info, voicemails, chat logs, and seductive girlfriend pictures belonging to a dozen Arizona police officers.”



The group also claims to have found more internal documents and evidence of a racial discrimination lawsuit against the police department.

Saying "we're disbanding" seems like a good way to get people to pay less attention to you. If they were actually disbanding, why would they bother making a statement saying as much?

Regarding the police, I feel sorry for the individual officers that are being affected by this, but I love the message that it sends. The state of Arizona tried to use its police force in a dehumanizing way, and now they are getting shit thrown in their faces.

Exactly. They are doing wrong for the right cause, and that I can stand for and support. I love their actions, and I do believe as well that they are using some sort of diversion to possibly misdirect investigators. I'm excited to see what Anonymous and Anti-Sec bring forth in the next few weeks/months.

They're disbanding because they got 0wned. A friend of mine just leaked this to me:

lololol

So did the Legion win again, or what? I'm lost.
If there are two things I want, it's for both Anonymous AND the government to be taken down. Too much law is bad, too much chaos is bad.

I could agree with that viewpoint, potentially.
