Jun 02 17:15:24 everyone in sec world is commenting right now about lulzsec...

Yeah, but no. Most of the heavy hitters I know in infosec barely know these guys exist. Newsflash: 20 year olds passing out password hashes has been going on since the days of 300 baud modems, and it hasn't magically become any more interesting this year.

Flagged. Even if it's accurate, there is little justification for posting names of siblings and parents of these adults.

So... Googling some nicknames is now "dropping dox"? (E.g. http://twitter.com/#!/joepie91 lists "Sven Slootweg / Joepie91" and is the first hit for "Joepie91" - not exactly hard to find...) Did I miss something?

They included the full address, DOB and social security number of the last guy. This must have been done by someone at facebook (joke).

First, Barret Brown was the leader of Anonymous, now he's Lulzsec. Ok. Sure.

Let me get this straight... LulzSec posting logins and hashes and DDoSing servers raises harsh criticism.

But Team Web Ninjas posting detailed personal info of people they hold grudge against is just business as usual?

FFS, that level of detail is doors open to identity theft and harassment of their families.
