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.

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  Ohhhhh, I see.'

What is lulzsec?

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:

Quote
Lulzsec, by Topiary’s own mouth, are: Topiary, Tflow, Sabu, Kayla and Avunit- same gang that did HBGary and got Topiary tossed in the clink once already. Lulzsec may be enjoying themselves today, but the lulz have an expiration date.

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.

Quote
Each night she wipes every one of her web accounts and deletes every email in her inbox.  She has no physical hard drive and boots her computer from a microSD card. “I could hide this card anywhere or chew into a million pieces in a few seconds,” she says by e-mail. She keeps her operating system on a USB stick and uses a virtual machine (VM) to carry out her online shenanigans.

So paranoid is Kayla of being caught or hacked by others, that despite several requests she would not speak to me on Skype to verify an adolescent-sounding voice.

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.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

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.

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?
