The end of Lulzsec.

[Dogstile]

...and two weeks later, nobody is going to care that LulzSec even existed. Especially since they didn't really leave any serious impact at all.

Really? They've got the hacktivist movement going strong (things are still being hacked everywhere). They've cost Sony millions, if not billions of dollars in damages through stock price and users abandoning ship as well as making everyone who knew about them start worrying if their passwords were all different, etc.

They may be assholes, but to deny they didn't have an impact is silly.

I thought it was Anonymous who attacked Sony, NOT LulzSec. Isn't there a difference?

You know, I may have gotten confused. I'll shove a disclaimer in my post saying i'm not actually sure because, well, i'm tired and i'm not in the mood to go check

That's how raiding is done, hit and run. Well played.

Spoiler: Haters gonna hate

 

[C2Ultima]

They're only stopping because they realized the government was cracking down on them, and panicked. Good fucking riddance.

 

[SeriousIssues]

Maybe I would've enjoyed them more if they weren't smirking douchebags doing more than just pranks in good-fun. Maybe if they had simply added a picture of their (horrible) logo to a site to prove the flawed security, but they had to go even further.

And now they're doing what looks like running away with their tail between their legs. They have a history of weaseling out of embarresments and saving face. And now that they're about to be brought down upon hard, they've fled under the guise of saints we'll be sad to see go.
Come on, LulzSec. GTFO with your BS.

Anonymous hit PSN, then stopped because it prevented people from playing. Someone else hit PSN after really hard, no one knows who. Lulzsec hit Sony pictures. Your first sentence was correct though.

Captcha fail = double post?

 

[Ldude893]

Well, good riddance.
You've got to admit though, they gave people on the internet a hell of a ride.

Learn to read, guys. Somebody already said it isn't real and folks are still posting smug self-satisfaction. Maybe update the OP?

 

[Jubbert]

Finally.

 

[Corporal Yakob]

They troll unopposed for 50 days and now that the Man has finally begun to crack down on them and arresting members its "farewell sweet princes of the internet, we always loved you"?

Good riddance to every last one of them says I!

Also wasn't Hitler more of a dog man?

 

[starwarsgeek]

Did...did they just compare themselves to Hitler and Bin Laden?

Um...okay then.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Good riddance, I say. They're a nuisance that I doubt anyone will miss. Nothing about them was lulzy in the least, but I didn't find them threatening, either. They were just obnoxious.

 

[airplanedude550]

Question: Is Lulzsec anything like Anonymous? (Forgive me if this question sounds idiotic)

 

[iLikeHippos]

... Maybe now, there'll be less "OMYGAWD GENERIC HACKER GROUP DID SUMTHIN, ISN DAT INTERESTING EEEEHHHH?!?!?!?!?!?!" news and topics on these boards.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Great, now throw them in prison or something

 

[icame]

Good riddance. Those guys were a bunch of assholes.

9 truer words were never spoken. I still hope they get caught..

 

[Regiment]

As they say, good riddance to bad rubbish. Their little farewell thing is a poor recovery, but I suppose saying "whoops, the blind dispassionate loathing and vitriolic demand for revenge from the entire Internet seems to have caught up with us" would be too difficult.

Quoth the captcha: SILENCE futityp. Silence indeed.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Please say they took Anon with them.

Anyway, yeah, glad they left. Citibank is still pissed at their antics, as are there users.

They can't take Anon with them. The only way Anon's going away is with censorship or removal of the internet.

I know, but they joined forces, so I was hoping they would both go. One can always hope
