#52we'll show those jerks that hacking people's voicemail is unacceptable... by hacking their CMS.
You're acting like this has anything to do with the News of the World allegations, other than the fact that it is what gave them the idea. It's mostly about them entertaining themselves. Lulzsec/antisec does have a message (essentially that the security industry is exploitative) but when they act under Lulzsec it really is just for the lulz.
It's mostly about attention seeking.

#53This is the first time I've seen them "call their shots" - that is, this isn't just whoever they could bust into.
This is untrue. Hacks against the Arizona cops and (secondary) attacks on Sony were 'called' as well.

The LulzSec twitter feed now appears to be empty.
All twitter.com pages come up empty for me for the past 30-40 minutes.
They're all erroring out now. If the traffic from the redirect was enough to take one of News Corp's sites offline, I imagine that it's throwing Twitter to a loop too.

410 Gone?

Not to excuse Lulzsec's actions, but don't you think that we should hold an international news organization to a higher standard?
We should... they are sufficiently compensated for their position as an international news organisation, that they should operate at a higher standard. But the internet has leveled the playing field. We should hold ourselves to a similar standard. Rather than lulzing as it burns. We should step up.
I refuse to accept responsibility for petty vandalism. It's impossible to prevent in any community.

Seems like just deserts to me.

#59News International (NWSA) lost about 5% of its stock value today, and with a special session of the UK Parliament on Wednesday all bets are off - if Cameron is badly damaged enough, the Lib Dems could pull out of the government on principle leading to a snap election, although I would give that only a 20% chance of happening. Murdoch is probably doomed; unless he pulls a rabbit out of a hat at the Parliamentary commi…
It may be in poor taste, but they aren't the first to joke about Murdoch this way.

Ourselves = all the people with Internet access?
