LOL I like how they're trying to be badass about running away with their tail tucked between their legs. Pussies got scared when U.S/U.K and every angry hacker network in the world went after them.

As for the group's leader, he sounds like he has a superiority complex that he decided to head a group of amateur script kitties.

I'm kinda sad actually, other hacker groups were so close to releases more info about lulzsec and some of the anon assholes.


Anon networks and lulzsec stand (stood) for nothing... not freedom of internet, freedom from corporate/government control of information or anything noble.... just a bunch sad sad shut ins that never leave mom's basement.

May they never be remembered except in history textbooks as "that group that was infamous among techies/gamers for 2 seconds".

Well that was an inspiring swan song, wasn't it? I had no idea that believing in myself was an option until Lulzsec told me so.

Wow, what pretentious douches. How can they say they hope they had a microscopic impact when they basically destroyed peoples lives by compromising their bank/credit info and leading to identity thefts?

Whatever, I'm just glad to know they're gone. Too bad they quit now before someone got mad enough to kill them.

Please say they took Anon with them.

Anyway, yeah, glad they left. Citibank is still pissed at their antics, as are there users.
They can't take Anon with them. The only way Anon's going away is with censorship or removal of the internet.
I know, but they joined forces, so I was hoping they would both go. One can always hope
despite what they said, they didn't really "join forces". Probably some influential AnonOps members or something. AnonOps and other related Anonymous-like organizations are only branches of the overarching umbrella that is Anonymous.

I hate living with the knowledge that our governments want nothing more than to to control the flow of information.
Alright folks, let's put this puppy to bed:

The sole reason I'm not a member of the (alarmingly) growing masses of "Anti-Sec" (Note: People, better names, PLEASE) hackers is because while there are many powerful people that would love nothing more then to control information, the set-up of the internet will never allow that to happen unless it is taken down for good. Now how many powerful people would really want to be responsible for the downfall of modern society in many countries? We live in an age where everything is discovered, announced, and saturated within minutes of occurrence. Public outcry and participation in governmental action is the only real action that needs to be taken, outright attacks on installations "for the good of freedom" almost poops out the foot it eats, there IS a great deal of evil inherent in any system, but it can all be flushed out if we all work for a better tomorrow instead of letting others do it while we boot up another game/movie/song.

Now if you'll excuse me, my soapbox is on fire.

Because standing up for "the people" means compromising user information and probably ruining lives. Right?

Good lord these guys look pretentious. Their message is nothing more than them trying to make themselves look heroic. They are not.

Lulzsec is simply scared an trying to apologize. It isn't working.

Read the rant with enjoyment and sympathy. Read the closing remark with a giggly splutter of tea and have no idea why. Jsyk.

God I hated Lulzsec. They're deluding themselves if they think they did good. In their mad quest to expose corporations, they damaged the lives of thousands of people. That's like saying you stopped a bank robbery by firebombing the state of Rhode Island.

I think everyone who works with computers is sad to see them go. I hope the anti-sec movement continues through independent hackers. Perhaps eventually we'll be guaranteed a free and secure internet forever. I hate living with the knowledge that our governments want nothing more than to to control the flow of information.
Question: How is attacking gamer networks to steal access information of everyday users, passwords (and possibly credit card info) and then posting it on the web for anyone to grab making the internet free and secure? I'd think that just makes web browsers/gamers afraid and just hands the reigns of control over to hackers rather than any imaginary, western, spooky shadow government you all keep going on about.

How about attacking Chinese censorship? How about Russia, Australia, Singapore, f**king Iran or Syria to crusade against their tight government control of ALL communication and information? Oh that's right.. because that would be dangerous and our brave heroes can't be in danger from people who wouldn't just give them a slap on wrist if they get caught now can they?

This is another thing I don't get about the gamer/forum community.. you guys fawn over people who are out to humiliate, vandalize, and attack YOU. your networks, and any web related service or product you use with no reason other than "for teh lulz".

I take it you don't have a bank account, have never had your identity stolen, and your social/address/phone number or financial info about you or someone you knew posted for others to do with as they wished?

Because that's the only reason i can think of as to why all these young people are cheering these assholes on. They're not helping in the passage of free information.

In fact, the people they went after (U.S and U.K) were pretty relaxed on internet information and web freedom.... now they've given even the most liberal governments an incentive to give the issue attention where is normally wouldn't have been discussed.

Well said, put far better than my own ridiculous rant.

Schadenfreude. Plain and simple.

This along with the concept of "owning" or "pwning" someone in video games to be funny and part of life itself after a while creates the beast that feeds Anonymous, Lulzsec, and the bunch. People love it, paint it in some heroic bullshit and BOOM, no shame in supporting them.

Until someone points it out.

Just so you know, Sabu, the leader of LulzSec posted this on his Twitter:


anonymouSabu The Real Sabu
@LulzSec Good work my brothers. 50 days of unstoppable action. Now onto #antisec irc.anonops.li for another 50
3 hours ago

Which would indicate to me that it's only just begun. The other tweets of his saying "this changes nothing" would reinforce this, and i am more inclined to believe the words of Sabu than that of Topiary, who runs the PR for LulzSec and runs LulzSec's twitter account. Jester claims to have the upper hand at the moment, but he's just one man. We'll see how this plays out.
