God these people are all so dumb, I literally feel dumber every time I open this topic to read it. For people who figured out how to hack you would think they would have some basic brain power, but I guess that's too much to ask for.

Wait, won't this piss off th3j35t3r since he's pro-government, patriotic, and all that?

Exactly. The little [censored] stains went all quiet when he went after them, so now they go and do this. He even said he would be watching and waiting. Maybe if they had an ounce of brain power they could be trying to trick him into attacking and they have something ready for him. But I really doubt that, it would be giving them too much credit.

What exactly will he try to do to them? I don't really know how hacker wars work.

It involves a lot of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3XzPhdBx9g

Neither do we, this is all new to me at least. I have no idea how this is going to play out. I imagine he'll keep his word of going after them if they acted up against the government again.

lmfao

I'm innocent! :sadvaultboy:



Well, lets get to that most likely anti-climactic ending then.

New to me as well. I don't really understand what th3j35t3r can do to a group of people he only knows as a hacker group on the internet.

Maybe crash their site or something, but I don't really know.

He took down their twitter, and their IRC, and got a video of them talking. As well as tons more without them any the wiser until it was too late. They eventually came back online and Jester left them alone so long as they didn't mess with any government stuff. What do they do? :sadvaultboy:

Attack their IRC channel, try to take control of their twitter account, expose their real identities, try to get malware onto their computer, commit identity theft, that kind of thing.

when did he hit their Twitter?

*shrug* I don't remember hearing anything about it, was just listing off things jester could do.

Oh. Either way, this is getting interesting.

th3j35t3r has a pic of deleted twitter posts by lulzsec. Whether he deleted them or lulzsec did, I have no idea.

I'm certain after reading them again lulzsec did.

What did they say?

Basically it was them trying to deny who was involved with lulzsec.

Smart of them to delete them, but why would j35t3r want to?

I edited my first post. He wouldn't.

I was about to say, he would probably just laugh at those. And if he did delete them, why keep a picture? lol

I guess they really do want to spend awhile in jail..*shrug*

Fact: At some point in their lives, one out of every six children will be abducted by the Dutch.



It's impossible to say their true motives for sure. But their justification for this is that they are raising public awareness of the issue by doing publicly what hackers do every day in secret. They pick targets that people will know, and are somewhat controlled in their damage. They claim they steal large amounts of data, then they release a small chunk of it to prove they did.

Needless to say, their other actions are pretty contradictory, and the latest AntiSec move deviates from the "public awareness" goal and has now turned into hactivism and borderline terrorism. For instance, to what benefit did it serve anyone when they released 62k random email addresses and passwords? It didn't motivate any company to step up their security because there was no particular target. It didn't warn users of any particular service that their information may be out there. It wasn't driven by any particular motivation whatsoever other than to scare people. And now everyone is under the impression that Xbox Live was hacked as a result. Pointless spread of fear.

apparently

You can look at past hacking sentencings... it isn't easy to nail specific hacks to a specific individual, especially when allegedly in an organization where the organization did the hack, not necessarily that individual.

Even when they do get sentenced, it is ALWAYS a very short sentence (<10 years, usually <5) after which the just end up on the FBI's cyber crime watch list.

Obama was pushing for longer sentences for cyber crimes before these guys came out and started openly hacking websites.
And what they're doing right now(hacking government websites) is borderline cyber-terrorism,so it might be a longer sentence if they get caught.
