It would be interesting to know how many of these hacked companies just recently started looking more closely for hacks.
Probably > 99% . Also, did anyone who had a fraudulent charge on a CC and blame it on Sony have a Citibank card? Because Citibank got hacked around the same time and had a bunch of card numbers stolen. |

Might also be that they are being reported more now, also. I remember seeing many comments about how this happens all the time but usually the companies do not mention it. I don't believe they are under any regulation to do so in most cases.

At least one of these companies (Bethesda?) reported/noticed the intrusion only after the hackers posted about it on Twitter. Not exactly reassuring in terms of security or transparency.
I got WipEout on PSN as part of the identity theft package and was surprised to see a Honda Civic commercial play during loading screens. Hope that door stays shut.

EvE site is down. Where did you read this? This is ironic I was just thinking they were clearly not pursuing security seriously due to a lack of those secure ID things. |

Twitter, it just Happened. Log in, Account DB, Website all hacked. EveOnline EVE Online
EVE Online and related services are currently offline, to return ASAP after investigation of some issues #tweetfleet #eveonline
22 minutes ago LulzSec The Lulz Boat
We just wiped out the login server for Eve Online, and it accidentally took their website out at the same time: eveonline.com
1 hour ago
Also: LulzSec The Lulz Boat
Just sunk the Minecraft login server, looks like their website also got hit from overkill: minecraft.net not even firing at the site.
11 minutes ago LulzSec The Lulz Boat
Eve Online, Escapist Magazine and Minecraft are all down. We let Fin Fisher back up (30 minute temporary fire request completed!)

I don't see any info about them getting "hacked" in the sense of an intrusion though. It just says they nailed the login server. Not that I'll be surprised when we see info about an actual intrusion. |

If I wasn't sure that Warcraft's servers were probably powered by a borg cube I'd hope for that too. |

Yes? Just like for any of these companies. Sure it might inconvenience a few dozen suits that probably deserve it, but it also kind of fucks over thousands and thousands of "us" who probably don't. I mean, ultimately the consumers who's shit is actually stolen are hurt more in the long run than the companies are usually. |

I was thinking more a DDoS like what they hit EVE with than data breech. I'm never happy with the latter. |

Given their target list for DDoSing, their botnet either isn't as large as they like to imply, or they really don't want to hit someone bored enough to notify every ISP about every botted IP.
They're hitting companies with pretty small pipes. Blizzard.. does not have a small pipe or easy to overwhelm infrastructure. The only time I could think to DDoS it would be a patch day, where you could have the user base unknowingly help by all trying to log in to check out the changes.

I completely understand Minecraft guy's twitter responses to this. Better to (at least publicly) yuk it up with these guys than to invite their wrath. |

I don't think there's anything very lulzy about a DDOS (from either perspective) but if it were me, I'd do the same.

They attempted, or accomplished a hit on the CIA sites. This has the potential to get ugly.

They're feeling awful full of themselves to go after the big dogs like that. Then again, kids with nothing invested in anything often do.

They hit the public CIA site with just a DDoS attack, which is not particularly impressive.
I'd be more impressed if they went after DHS, who has a lot more statutory authority to go after domestic targets...like kids causing trouble from their parents' basements.

Actually, would DHS or the FBI, or someone like that go after them for DDoSing the CIA? |

They're even getting people to troll /b/ itself. Everyone go to /b/ and post stuff about Boxxy, LulzSec sending you there, and triforces. In return, 50,000 assorted emails/passwords.
