#82So... do you think it's possible LulzSec is based in China or Russia? That's the only way I can imagine them doing this that doesn't involve being clinically insane.
There's probably a couple countries that they would honestly probably be better off in another country besides those. The guys who made the ILOVEYOU virus got off scot free because there were no anti-malware laws in the Phillipines at the time.

Some of my friends work for Phoenix DPS. According to them, their "IT Department" (in quotes because according to them they don't really have an IT dept.) is...horrifyingly incompetent. Like really, really bad.
Like "negligent" bad?
It might depend on your definition of negligent. Imagine building out a city, streets, alleyways, highways, etc. The imagine paying one guy to put up all the street signs, paint the lanes on the roads and highways, tow broken down cars, and handle street cleaning duties.
When a wreck happens because a particular intersection was missing stop signs, would you consider that one guy negligent?

#84Racial profiling sucks! It's demeaning, belittling, and alienating. If the cops acted within the law, then what are they afraid of? More transparency = a more democratic state, right? (I don't think their family names should have been listed here though). You can't applaud Wiki leaks for igniting the overthrow of autocratic Middle Eastern governments, and hypocritically argue against similar actions when it's your ow…
I'm trying to figure out if you're being sarcastic. "If the cops acted within the law, then what are they afraid of?" That sounds like the exact same statements we usually say with regard to what the government would say to us when we want our emails to remain private, etc. "If you've got nothing to hide, why do you want it kept private?" You cannot hold both positions here. You cannot. I'm sorry. In this instance, w…
The police is to serve citizens not the other way around. It's okay for your employer to go through your company issued computer, but not of for the employee to go through the boss' machine. You seem to have lost perspective as to which group serves whom.

#85This one makes me think they are most likely a chinese or russian group, I do not think anyone that FBI has decent chance of getting would be this dumb

#86Forced transparency in government... thanks LulzSec!
Re: LulzSec releases trove of AZ law enforcement documents
#87It's only a matter of time until the government starts reigning in the internet even more than they already have - and we have idiots like LulzSec to largely thank for it.
I don't know... I believe a government (or corporate) reigned-in internet was on its way already. LulzSec may be accelerating that process, but it's completely naive to think that it wasn't coming anyway.

probably "like every understaffed, underbudgeted IT department in the world" bad

> like how officers are instructed to place iPhone in nickel or copper plated containers in order to prevent remote wipes Idea: a self-destruct mode where if your phone can't call home to check for remote wipe and kick an internal watchdog, it will prompt for local self-destruct override. Failing that, automatic wipe.
bummer: sleeping through the alert after your local tower goes offline for a few hours.

That is a fair statement, as is Daeken's. I think half of what I was thinking of when I wrote that was also related to those police officer's private data (name, address, phone number, wife's name...). These things need not be shared, and the person I responded to, and their tone, seemed to suggest that this information should be released.
