Kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, it'd be; also a neat hack. Truly anonymous DDoS, too ;-)

He's just a troll/internet tough guy having verbal warfare via Twitter and IRC.
Really? Xerxes seems impressing to me. Not that I know too much about it, but you're not exactly convincing. Xerxes: http://th3j35t3r.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/time-to-speak-up-p...
He's actually laid another ultimatum (for the umpteenth time in the last 3 months) promising revenge. His first act seems to be that irc.lulzco.org is down. We shall see if anything else comes from his indignation.

I agree with the coat of paint comment but if we have learned anything about government agencies or large corporations being hacked in the past it is that their Internet security practices can sometimes be painfully bad. @Below and HBGary was a IT security firm after all...
The CIA should be relatively secure: they are an intelligence agency, after all. Breaching a intelligence agency's website will cause the agency to lose more face than a Senator does after his or her website is hacked.

#46The Jester, greyhat patriot who hacked Talibans' websites and forced Wikileaks to change their hosting, is now going after LulzSec. This is a lot more entertaining than TV: https://twitter.com/#!/th3j35t3r

#47Confirming that it is indeed down for me. I wonder what the CIA are going to do, especially because LulzSec is directly targeting them now.
I doubt that the core of the CIA cares too much about it's public-facing website.

Say, during American Revolutionary War, wouldn't the Jester be considered `loyalist', rather than `patriot'?

#49Works for me. It puts me on edge that these idiots would pick such media-friendly targets to strafe with their clueless bandwidth wastage; not looking forward to the next round of "cyber security" laws one bit. "Hey dad, tell me just one more time about how when you were a kid you used to be able to make TCP connections freely and without the connection first being authorized by the NSA." "Go to sleep, son."

I enjoy John Wayne's The Shootist more and more.
