Why bother running stories about random DDOS's and defacings? It's even less interesting or important news than mainstream media's celebrity gossip.
What on earth is their plan?
Works 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."
In the end, government is beholden to corporations. And corporations can't do without network freedom.
I really hope that scenario never happens, but if we get more Lulzsec like things we will get laws making sure everything is regulated and monitored.
But the most surprising thing about them is how confident they are they won't be caught. Can they really be that sure that they will never be caught doing these attacks? Or are they just reckless?
But if they are for real, it might be understandable if they actually had a cause, and a good one. Doing it for the lulz, doesn't seem like a very good cause, and it's only going to give politicians more ammo to restrict the Internet because of "these crazy hackers" that prove the Internet is very "chaotic".
At least when Anonymous attacks they have a pretty good cause, that could actually be supported by most of the public. LulzSec attacks are getting less and less defensible, and maybe even suspicious.
I just wonder... would merely announcing the CIA.gov is hacked on LuLzSec's highly-popular website be enough to cause such spike of curious visitors that the servers collapse? Kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, it'd be; also a neat hack. Truly anonymous DDoS, too ;-)
Could LulzSec actually be working for the Government to help create that "civilized" Internet Sarkozy was talking about. They've certainly created the "worst case scenarios" that politicians can point to now. But the most surprising thing about them is how confident they are they won't be caught. Can they really be that sure that they will never be caught doing these attacks? Or are they just reckless? But if they ar…
