LulzSec launches Operation Anti-Security.

[Luke O'Neill]

uh i hate to point out that they are by definition anonymous.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

The only thing I got out of this was a fantastic idea in my head, that I'm now going to draw, of a giant ship (in space) with thousands of cannons facing off on all sides obliterating structures on the surface of some planet. (probably ours)

Anyway.. Thanks for the appealing image, Lulsmores!

Apparently Lulzsec has already been doxed, or for those of you outside of the 4chan loop, they have been identified. Screen names, accounts on various sites (just names, no passwords), and pictures have been posted. Whether or not it's actually them remains to be seen.

Hmm ninjas passed on the dox to the FBI...these clowns are fucked

FBI....BUST THESE BASTARDS!

 

[Low Key]

You'd think they'd expect something like this and pull all of their data off of the net. Well, that which they had control of, anyway.

I think it's their egos. Hackers like notoriety.

If they have their leader's address why isn't the FBI or kicking down some doors?

The FBI still has to investigate. Can't just arrest random people.

Let's hope. There will always be more hackers though.

That's the best part, though! You can try almost anything you like, and you STILL can't be completely anonymous online. Once you've put any of your data up, you're never going to get it removed entirely. Even if you figure out a way to clear it out, I'm pretty sure there's a web archive project somewhere out there...and it's probably a searchable database that will take you to saved copies of webpages long since deleted.

Oh wait, there's EXACTLY THAT out there. The Wayback Machine. And they've used data provided by it as viable evidence in court cases.

The more you know!

 

[Awexsome]

It looks more to me like they're crying to Anon for their support more than anything. They're getting messed up pretty bad with the internet being completely against them save for some fucktards who actually think they're doing good.

LulzSec gets points for standing for something instead of just being a bunch of bullying douchebags. They're going about it wrong and I don't think anything good can come of this, but I'm at least glad they're trying to accomplish something now. That's what's always made them more dangerous than Anonymous; they have no ideals, no noble goals, only a desire to watch the world burn and laugh at it. But to be honest, I doubt this will be much of an improvement.

The Wayback Machine.

That things awesome! I checked out the original version of the escapist!

 

[Littlee300]

Do you guys not see the repercussions of this?
Sites are going to beef up their security.
It's what LulzSec has been trying to make people do since they started this circus side show.

It's like in real life... people dont fix it till someone gets hurt or dies.
Like that bridge in Florida.

90% of their motive probably was attention or pride/power.

Edit: I have to watch a commercial to post? I need to socialize in real life more apparently.

 

[superdelux]

Lulzsec: FUCK WITH THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD, YEAH ITS GOING TO END SO WELL FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lawlhat]

Reading that just made me get the feeling that whoever wrote it was paranoid.

 

[Hamish Durie]

ferget zombies ferget a meteor strike and ferget a horrible dieseas this will be the thing that wipes out the human race

 

[TheTim]

Aren't they breaking all kinds of laws doing this stuff? can they be punished??

 

[GraveeKing]

COOL!! A online world war!! There shall be tactic Trojan nukes and virus' everywhere!
GENOCIDE OF HARD-DRIVES BY THE MILLION!!

O.K but seriously. This probably won't do that much. That said, I wish luck to them. Every government junk they take down and show the world is another politicians day ruined and really - who likes those slimy blighters anyway?

What exactly do you think they're standing for? Isn't trying to spread anarchy pretty much the opposite of standing for something, by standing for nothing?

 

[Magicman10893]

I am literally facepalming with two hands, one after another over this ridiculous move.

It seems like they're taking a stand for the freedom of information on the internet. It's more complex than the "everyone should have access to everything" stance they take, of course; I'm not at all saying I agree with their actions or even the extent of their stance, but at least it's a stance. I'd rather be dealing with a powerful internet group that has a goal, whatever it may be, than one that just screws stuff up for the lulz.

 

[ninja51]

Wow, not very lulzy but still pretty awesome, they're doing somthing good for once. I can not stand the idea that people in power can hide things they've done, and the arguement that its hidden for a reason is bullshit. Expose every secret, if its dirty, it absolutly deserves to be shown, if it isnt dirty, well no harm done. Information can only hurt someone if its bad

 

[Neverhoodian]

good, good. i wish them the best of luck, and anyone who joins in and gets caught has my deepest sympathies. I wish there was something i could do to help, but i'm simply not a hacker by any stretch of the word.

Wait - you support the people who might bring the end of the internet as we know it and then lead into a new internet with HEAVY restrictions?

yes. i advocate chaos.

HERETIC! May His most holy Inquisition smite your thrice-damned soul for such blasphemy!

In all seriousness, care to extrapolate why you advocate such a thing other than just trying to be nonconformist?

Also, This latest announcement seems jarringly out of character. I thought LulzSec only did things "for the lulz" (hence their name). Perhaps they're desperately trying to gain some shred of legitimacy out of this (they're way too late if they are).
