lulzsec apparently decided to derp around on the faces of various internet sites, amongst them eve online. One quick DDOS, and the game's down for hours.

because of Sony connection or derp?

One group of the Russian mafia attacking another group of the Russian mafia (CCP just caught in the crossfire).

What is lulzsec?

"we a group gon take down your shit just for shits and giggles"

which they have done for the most part, though at one point I hear they had an opportunity to fucking sandblast the british national health service but instead only sent warnings like 'hey yer shit's all retarded and we got into it real easy like, JUST SO YOU KNOW  :oh_i_see:'

The same group of hackers who were previously calling themselves Anonymous/AnonOps: Topiary, Tflow, Sabu, Kayla, Avunit and whoever else. Here's an article with good info and interesting links: http://blogs.forbes.com/andygreenberg/2011/06/06/lulzsec-hackers-tied-to-anonymous-in-leaked-logs/
 
They seemed to rebrand as Lulz Security after an internal split. The @lulzsec Twitter account claims it's Topiary doing most of the writing. I'd bet he was behind most of the previous Anonymous press releases and Twitter statements, as they have ceased and they were similar sounding. Topiary apparently speaks with his own voice in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJwSjor4hM

Judging by recent tweets, there was an article in Escapist magazine that pissed them off (presumably related to the Sony hacks). They took out Escapist, then took out the MMO companies related to whatever had pissed them off in the Escapist article.

I wonder if these guys realize they are putting themselves in the cross-hairs of the world intelligence services when they flaunt thier stuff like this?   One minute they are sitting fat and happy behind their keyboard, the next minute someone busts down their doors and they are doing the perp walk.

A comment in Tale's link reads:

Doesn't seem to stop them. They've broken into computer systems of an FBI affiliate, the US Senate and the UK's National Health Service.

Edit: And apart from Topiary, they're very careful. Quote below from an apparent interview with Kayla (http://blogs.forbes.com/parmyolson/2011/03/16/is-this-the-girl-that-hacked-hbgary/).

Ars Technica on what happened. (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/06/titanic-takeover-tuesday-lulzsecs-busy-day-of-hacking-escapades.ars)

Lulz comes with a price, I guess.

All we need to do is persuade them to keep going for another 2 or 3 months and I reckon the tech nerf will let us keep Deklein (I want us to move to Delve someone ask them to stop).

Also I'm downloading the Chinese Client I'm going to get my head kicked in repeatedly by yet more mega-alliances filled with unintelliigible posters.

Is this what happens without a clear purpose in life? You just start fucking with other people's shit.

Works well for gansters in RL  :grin:

Aaaaand lulzsec just nuked the CIA (https://twitter.com/#!/LulzSec/status/81115804636155906)

That's fucking scary.

Can they please find out:  who shot jfk, the truth behind area 51/roswell, if OBL and SH are really dead, and if we actually went to the moon

Oh yeah...these guys have been all over the net in the last month...I'm surprised we're not on some kind of internet lockdown or some other kind of BS until they get these guys.

Meh, the ddos is easy, as all you need is enough booted machines out there to take advantage of.

As for your other requests, pretty sure all but the OBL one are sitting on printed paper somewhere with no electronic footprints at all.

I thought that was what the vaults full of microfilm were for.

That is very unwise and likely to get them the kind of reaction they deserve.

Is being a video game nerd so mainstream now that we can mock others for not having purpose in life?

You can't camwhore for attention while being male.
