LulzSec Hacks Porn Database, Uncovers .mil And .gov Logins

[Tharwen]

I don't know... they might just not understand how email works and use their .gov addresses for their private lives as well as their jobs.

That's still a fairly bad thing to do anyway though.

Ninja'd by the first couple posts....WHY WOULD YOU USE YOUR WORK EMAIL! Jesus christ....it just doesn't make any sense at all. Seriously, it takes like 5 minutes to sign up for a G-Mail, Hotmail, Yahoo! account. Use that instead! What a bunch of dumbasses

I think what's more "petty and spiteful" is calling attention to it and providing a link to the actual emails/passwords. Something about that seems really irresponsible for a news site. Never heard of journalistic integrity?

You're bit late with news, this was days ago. They just released all internal Bethesda data.

I wouldn't be ashamed that people knew I was watching porn, but the fact that people knew I was paying for it. Everybody looks at porn. Smart people know the free sites.

Lol, totally this.

Some of these passwords are interesting. Quite a few of them are girls names for what is probably a guy's email. Although while randomly scrolling, this one stuck out.

Spoiler: Humourous

Classy. And that doesn't even take into account the 15 "pr0n" passwords I've seen so far. These people know how to deal, man.

Is it weird that I'm reading these and finding them funny? These passwords are fascinating.

these guys are crazy! If they weren't being douchebags to PSN users then I'd enjoy them even more!

"OK, on one hand: People need to learn what is (and what is not) an appropriate use of taxpayer funds."

LOL WUT? It's their job and they earned the money working at it, why are members of the military/government not allowed to look at pronz? They are adults, they can spend their money however they like.

They're using their work emails to view porn; not normally a problem, but when your job is funded by taxpayers, this complicates issues based on how people expect you to work for (theoretically) the betterment of society instead of looking at porn while you're on the clock.

Implying they are viewing the porn on the clock? Pretty bold statement.

Also Pron.com isn't even a website that you pay for...they just have accounts on it.

This all seems like research you as the publisher should have done.

Using their work email addresses implies that already.

Also, I never said you pay for an account with the site. Seems like something you as the reader should have noticed.

Yeah basically this

Everyone looks up porn, not surprising that gov officials are.

 

[Irridium]

Who the hell would use their actual email address to register for porn?

Who the hell actually registers for porn?!

I know I don't.
...

I mean, I wouldn't, if I did. Yeah. Totally don't though.

[email protected]? The healthcare snitch line? With password karlmarx? Okay, it's obvious now that pron.com does NOT validate e-mails! Anyone can sign up with anything that looks halfway valid. I don't think this list can be entirely trusted.

(Edit: Seriously, look at the number of people who registered for the site with @pron.com domain email addresses.)

 

[ReaperzXIII]

LOL I actually love LulzSec, they bring so much lulz to me as long as they don't hack microsoft in which case I will put my serious face on and whip out the good ol axe and hockey mask

 

[FalloutJack]

Wait. Who CARES if a government agent looks at porn?

Just thought I'd add this

Seems appropriate.

This is a prime example of why I hate hackers.

I can understand hating them for some of their other shenanigans, such as attacking Sony while they were recovering from the original attack, but this seems harmless and funny. What's to hate?

 

[Pearwood]

Looks like the government are literally wanking away their budget.

 

[JET1971]

They hacked Bethesda as well and just released enough for any script kiddie to get inside. If you have a bethesda account start cleaning it up! remove any personal info. change passwords.

 

[Battenbergcake]

It's official, no one has respect for anyone's basic human rights anymore.
