#42They have an twitter account, thus a quick phonecall to twitter from US gov for an IP and mac address should put an end to all of this. Also they have a site up, so simply check their dns and domain provider for a whois (most likely private - so might require pushing). They are also on The Pirate Bay, so they might have some IP data too. meh

#43How is it that so much coverage of LulzSec still hasn't understood their motives?
The group's agenda isn't entirely clear right now

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
What's to stop you? the government making it illegal to run hacking tools like "tor" (see the silk road/bitcoin post on HN from earlier) etc illegal and forcing your ISP to record any use of such and block you off the internet (see france's 3 strikes, you as a person are not allowed on the internet law) and report you and then possibly criminally prosecute you as well.
What you're suggesting is impossible. >the government making it illegal to run hacking tools like "tor" Do you think that there is nothing illegal that happens on the internet now ? How long was it illegal to export encryption? How many people actually cared? >forcing your ISP to record any use of such and block you off the internet The encryption standards that we all use are the same encryption standards that are r…
Depends on your definition of successful. But I consider it a failure for the people (in the case of China) when the government has a list of people they consider dissidents and when those middle eastern rebellions kicked off they just preemptively arrested them all. I don't know how that list was generated, but if tor usage was enough to get you on well then...
Yes tor was made to hide what you are doing, but if using tor alone is enough to cast suspicion or guilt on you then what?

#46This is just getting tired and dumb now.
It's no longer funny.
It's like the joke you told at a party that everybody laughed at. Then you told it 5 more times before you left the party.
Unfortunately, I don't see them stopping any time soon. Soo....

Do you honestly think that they make such rookie mistakes?
It wont be that easy to track them down.
But im pretty sure the .com domain will be seized soon.

#48When they're attacking Sony it's "righteous" and "good", when they're attacking companies we like they're "bad" and "immature". They've always stated their intention is to create "lulz" and just do whatever damage they can, apparently people overlooked this when they were attacking people everyone "hated". Luckily Minecraft wasn't down for too long, some of us are directly affected by this stuff, sigh. The internet i…
These attacks are annoying and damaging but in the long run they make our internet stronger. If these didn't happen so often people would care a lot less about security and robustness.
I suppose a bit like firesheep has cause a lot of sites to start pushing SSL more aggressively and even looking into dealing with some of SSL's quirks that have kept it from gaining more popular usage

I admit, I was at work for the entire downtime so it didn't bother me, but I am pleased with their response to the situation. Hitting the big red button may be a drastic step in response to DDOS, but at least they were willing to take security seriously.

No. Not that easy. They use VPNs offshore chained together not to mention the off shore vps' they have. Of course they would use protection when even just getting on Twitter, so a phone call from the government would do very little as the give would receive an IP from somewhere offshores that doesnt give a damn about US law, providing time and security to lulzsec.
