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

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Why doesn't anyone track down who and/or where those guys are posting their Twitter tweet things? They can't use a disposable cell phone every time they tweet, no?

Proxies and such make it pretty easy to hide who you are. They could also be mooching off of various unprotected wifi hotspots nearby or at places like Starbucks and such, so there would be little way to prove who it is unless you see them physically type out the message and submit.

As for this, I am rather indifferent about LulzSec. On one hand they are in their own fucked up little way, helping companies tighten up their security by exploiting the loopholes in them, but they are also releasing personal information on people to the internet.

I'm all for getting companies to tighten their security, but trolling to get about to it is just annoying.

A lot of those users have 'password' set as their password so I'm guessing they're either silly or they just use that as their passwords for websites that aren't very important.

This comes to mind.

If it weren't for their motivation, LulzSec would win the internet. Sad really, they could be such a force for the greater good if they didn't come off as a bunch of immature 15 year olds to the general public. Unfortunately, in today's society, rarely will you see a person or group willing to risk anything (let alone their lives/freedom) simply for "good." It usually requires some form of profit. Be it monetary or the Lulz.

But then couldn't they track down the general area of those spots and go from there? I mean, it's Twitter, it can't be that hard to ask them for some IP addresses of certain users, websites already know where we log in immediately.

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.

I'm laughing for real right now.

Because this gave me serious lulz.

[A Weary Exile]

People who work for the government have sex drives? My entire world view has been shattered! D:

 

[linkvegeta]

it's funny, people like porn, its the way the world works

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Petty and spiteful as it may be, this is hilarious, and I encourage more of this type of thing. Lulz factor 9.

 

[raankh]

Encouraging the internet to hack people's Facebook accounts and shame them for having an account with an adult website that couldn't keep their information secure is beyond ridiculous. It's petty and spiteful.

It's also lulzy, which I guess is sort of the point?

Not that I support public defamation of criminals, but accessing a porn site with your government capacity email adress is just plain stupid. That kind of stupidity ought not pay for itself.

 

[hardband]

Can someone kill lulzSec already. They are pricks. They can't even claim to be doing it for good reasons like Anon (claims) to have. They are idiots through and through and they annoy the hell outa me!

Really? I can't find any that are just "password".

OK, this is really bad, and I don't condone looking at other peoples passwords in any way shape or form, but it's interesting going down and seeing what people put as their passwords. There's the odd 1111111, or aaaaaaa, but look through and you can find some really good ones. I found a "gollum" in there somewhere. And "naynay12"? What the hell is that supposed to mean.

I love how in movies where they're trying to guess what people have put as a password, and they end up guessing its something emotionally important to the person, like their wife's name or something. And then you see what people really put as their passwords. How are you supposed to guess something like 1111111?

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Psh, who registers for porn?

Fools.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

This is a prime example of why I hate hackers.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Oh no.

The government officials are looking at porn.

THE HORROR.

Just don't do it too much on the clock, 'kay?

Yeah. There are loads which are literally just "password". Do Ctrl+F search and you'll see.

I also found it funny that someone's password was "sohorny" so I'm guessing he only uses that password for porn... hopefully. There were also quite a few email addresses that sounded unique and like work ones. I thought everyone had a work, for friends and spam email addresses >.>

Am I the only one that thinks the white house one belongs to Obama?

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.
