LulzSec hacks Nintendo, takes control of the FBI, and challenges NATO

[Liudeius]

What... I thought this was just some Xbox fanboy with minor hacking experience out for Sony, but they have hacked the FBI successfully? We really need to get some cyber security in the country.

What, no outrage at Nintendo being hacked?

I wonder what kind of security they were running...anyone know?

I googled the hack to get any info about this. It redirected me to your thread on the very 1st link :/

And that link you gave gives quite a lot of info. Wonder when Lulzsec will move on to other targets. Would be most fun if they actually get caught though...

That's probably because I stalk LulzSec like some kind of creeper, and The Escapist is a high traffic site. Also, it happened...uh...about ten minutes ago. The link is pretty much all the proof I have, though.

They're still working on the FBI, I guess. It hasn't been hacked just yet.

I'm afraid you will have to deal with my lack of Computer Savvy in this post but Lulzsec are asking for donations? So are these donations not able to be traced or the purchases where the money was used? (If delivered where the stock was delivered?)

I don't get it... They announce their plans openly? Also what are these guys, somekind of offspring from Anonymous? I mean I couldn't give a ratass for what they wanna achieve by hacking the feds but atleast Anonymous had some funny shit going on in the end...

I asked the same question, perhaps bitcoins are not as traceable as PayPal?
They also think themselves good enough to not be traced by the FBI when they attack, so they clearly are either brain-dead-stupid or quite experienced.

They're taking Bit Coin donations only, specifically because Bit Coins can't be traced. (To the best of my knowledge.)

Edit: Here's the site. http://www.bitcoin.org/

They claim that there are no records of transactions, so yeah.

Nintendo got hacked now? I won't be surprised if they "warm up" by hacking Microsoft.

Seriously, these guys are really pissing me off, someone HAS to stop this.

I would assume the company keeps some kind or form of records which the FBI could get their hands on.

Even if they can't use Bit Coin I have a feeling that being to public could lead to their downfall.

Nah..Bit Coin is a P2P thing with it's own files. Think of it as an ultra-secure torrent, because that's pretty much what it is.

Nah..Bit Coin is a P2P thing with it's own files. Think of it as an ultra-secure torrent, because that's exactly what it is.

But you can see IP's in torrents, I'm sure there must be some way to offer a donation, then track the connection to send it to them (or send them a virus instead). I guess LulzSec probably has ways to block such tracking too though.

 

[FalloutJack]

Actually, I have a question for you guys here... (And mods, please don't hit me for this.)

Does anyone else here look at the title 'Lulzsec' and somehow get 'Nutsack'?

That's what I mean by 'ultra-secure'. It uses it's own files, so planting a virus or something to trace the transfer with wouldn't be possible. I would imagine that LulzSec is using a public IP address (Say, from a local starbucks or some such thing) so that the transfer will go through (Unless it can be done via proxy, but I don't think it can), so they couldn't be found that way, either.

Bit Coin doesn't use IP addresses, though. They have special 'bit coin addresses' that're used. Mine looks like this: 1GQpmq7ECvktqFBaM49SZRf9kzf7GEz1EH

Important update. 45 minutes until fuckall. (See first post for more details.)

The real question is whether LulzSec are the splinter cell from Anonymous led by Ryan. I wouldn't be surprised if they were and i wouldn't be surprised if LulzSec were the ones who attacked AnonOps during the power struggle. If that turns out to be the case, it might be cause for concern. Anonymous has at least some level of restraint, but separatists acting freely and with absolutely no moral restraint or humility are a lot more dangerous than an idealistic organisation about freedom of censorship. They will have no compunction about their targets or their actions and will not care how it affects whom.

LulzSec is a splinter group of Anonymous, but they haven't revealed much more than that...but they're very clear about no longer having any affiliation to Anonymous at this point.

Moral of this story? Be afraid.

eh...Lulzsec are too cocky to be completely honest; Bravado and exaggeration don't vanish from the human condition the moment you sit someone in front of a computer and these guys are rife with arrogance. I doubt they'll do anything, if they do it will be unsubstantial and they will be caught.

Whether they're behind 7 proxies or 7 Boxxies they do not strike me as Technical geniuses or criminal masterminds.

Eh, they keep posting the files obtained from their hacking exploits. What do they have to do for you to consider them a credible threat? For this attack on the FBI to succeed?

Yeah, and the fact they suddenly rose to prominence after Anonymous' internal power struggle (See the IRC chat data about Ryan stealing admin privileges before AnonOps.com was attacked) would probably support this theory all the more. Interesting that someone tried to inject LulzSec, i'm wondering if that was an agent of Anonymous or just someone looking for payback. The fact they retaliated with a DDoS attack proves their history - it's Anon's favoured method of attack. I wonder if we'll see Anonymous tackle LulzSec and enter some kind of civil-cyber-warfare. I doubt it though; the enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all. If people are focused on LulzSec it'll keep the eye off Anonymous and vice versa.

I hope he doesnt get caught
1)He has brains no matter how much ppl try to say the opposite to makes their ... selves feel better
2)He makes stupid ppl rage and hate him therefore he wins since the world is so stupid. They deserve to get annoyed if they fall for this
3)He has lulz in his name xD
4)He has the power to fuck up with ppl who deserve it for many reasons. And 99% of corporations deserve it along with everyone that gets mad

Uuuuh...I think you need to learn about a concept called 'economy'. You might not like corporations, but you need them if you wish to continue to live in the same capacity you currently enjoy.

It seems to me that Lulzsec was the part of Anon that isn't about ideals but rather about being douchebags.
