Lulzsec's lulz : Othor Games

....and got a video of them talking.

Aaand going back to that "hackers (should be) intelligent" thing, who the heck put's a spy device on their own computer, when tying to remain anonymous? I refuse to have a camera after seeing a show about hackers just "peeping" on people with their own hardware. Freaky man, really fricking freaky. Think about it, someone is basically in your house, watching you do your thing while sitting there totally oblivious. No thanks, No camera will ever be put on any computer of mine.

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_mitnick

Confirmed criminal acts (ones he was convicted for)

Using the Los Angeles bus transfer system to get free rides[4]
Evading the FBI[5]
Hacking into DEC system(s) to view VMS source code (DEC reportedly spent $160,000 in cleanup costs)[4][5]
Gaining full administrator privileges to an IBM minicomputer at the Computer Learning Center in Los Angeles in order to win a bet[4]
Hacking Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu Siemens systems[5]

Alleged criminal acts (ones they couldn't nail him for)

Stole computer manuals from a Pacific Bell telephone switching center in Los Angeles[6]
Read the e-mail of computer security officials at MCI Communications and Digital[6]
Wiretapped the California DMV[6]
Made free cell phone calls[7]
Hacked Santa Cruz Operation, Pacific Bell, FBI, Pentagon, Novell, California Department of Motor Vehicles, University of Southern California and Los Angeles Unified School District systems.
Wiretapped FBI agents, according to John Markoff;[6] although this is denied by Kevin Mitnick.[8]

In 1999, Mitnick confessed to four counts of wire fraud, two counts of computer fraud and one count of illegally intercepting a wire communication, as part of a plea agreement before the United States District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison plus 22 months for violating the terms of his 1989 supervised release sentence for computer fraud. He admitted to violating the terms of supervised release by hacking into PacBell voicemail and other systems and to associating with known computer hackers, in this case co-defendant Louis De Payne.

Mitnick served five years in prison — four and a half years pre-trial and eight months in solitary confinement — because, according to Mitnick, law enforcement officials convinced a judge that he had the ability to "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone".[10] He was released on January 21, 2000. During his supervised release, which ended on January 21, 2003, he was initially forbidden to use any communications technology other than a landline telephone. Mitnick fought this decision in court, eventually winning a ruling in his favor, allowing him to access the Internet.

Under the plea deal, Mitnick was also prohibited from profiting from films or books based on his criminal activity for seven years.

Mitnick now runs Mitnick Security Consulting LLC, a computer security consultancy.

Bolded the important parts for you.

probably not related to lulzsec but I just got a message from steam to reset my password, seems someone clicked the 'forgot your password' button for my accountname (or it's a phishing mail but I doubt that)..

Gonna double-check steamguard now by logging in on my netbook, probably change my password as well just to be sure.

edit: odd, the layout for the steamguard-mail is different from the forgotpassword-email, but the ip seems to be the same.

My main problem is they're targeting the US and they're a bunch of cowards for it. Instead of going after the supposed top dog "China" they decide to play it safe attacking the US exploiting vulnerabilities like a little kid who throws rocks at an old man's windows then rides off on his bike. Betting they're scared to attack china cause it'll come back to bit them in the butt.

Not that it detracts much from your post, but their latest target was soca.gov.uk (criminal squad or something?), as of three hours ago.

How exactly is the US an old man's window? China doesn't have nearly the internet usage as the US, and they probably don't speak Chinese so word of their feats would fall on untranslated ears. They're insane no matter what government they hack, if you ask me. :lol:

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.

< 10 years is a short sentence?

< 10 years is a short sentence?

When you factor in time served and probation, they only end up serving 2 years :shrug:

The one of the guy I posted was pretty much the longest actually time served I've ever heard.

It looks like Sega's hack was a lot worse then I'd thought it would be.

It's not for them to be honest.
It is short if they killed people but they haven't. They're mostly immature people and 10 years for them is like a life time, most of them come out as 30 or late 20's which will make them think about life more, trust me.

Well, in that situation it should be LulzSec to the rescue.
