I like what one of my twitter followers said. Don't be mad at lulzsec for taking them down, be mad at the site owners for having such shitty security.
However that person was an idiot. All security operates on the same principle, make the cost to break in higher then the reward. Every site I have an account on has a password that is a random arrangement of letters and numbers, to prevent a cascading hack. I store all these passwords in an encrypted database with 128-bit AES encryption. It's more security then they deserve, but that's kinda the point.
Now I doubt the cost of orchestrating a DDoS attack on The Escapist of all sites was worth the benefit. They could have used that time to write a novel, or cure cancer. Instead they are using it to take down a shitty gaming site.
A shitty gaming site I love, but still. Let's face it, taking down this site is small potatoes, no one really gives a shit. This isn't CNN. I know I don't give a shit. I just waited a few hours longer to watch The Big Picture. No big loss.
The only explanation I can think of for doing this was, they were hired by Gearbox to take down any site that wrote a negative review of DNF. It was released today dontyaknow.
