Lulzsec!

This is completely unacceptable!

 

[Streeteh]

Utter numpties.

They'll be cast out from the internet at this rate.

They attacked Minecraft?

I think thats all the proof people needed really that they're a bunch of 10 year olds who think they're untouchable.

 

[spudbynight]

I think we just kill them with fire

 

[Adsta]

This is just not right dammit ! NOT RIGHT !

 

[Garee]

They have over stayed thier welcome.

Not sure a 10 year old could be bothered tbh

These are probably man-children.

This goes totally against their original ethos. Originally they targeted big companies and typically did no damage, just informed them of their security holes.

Taking down Minecraft is essentially the polar opposite.

Twitter should release their details to the authorities tbh.

 

[Marky]

What the hell do they think they're doing?!

This is outrageous

Quick question: is it really that easy to hack into all these major companies? There isn't anything solid in place to stop this? Or is it a retroactive type of security - ie: hack us, but then you'll go to jail for a long, long time.

Indeed, what was their reason for doing this then?

LulzSec The Lulz Boat



Welcome to #TitanicTakeoverTuesday where everyone is laughing at crybabies getting Lulz Cannoned!

The reason is just to annoy as many people as possible it seems.

They aren't "Hacking" them. They are DDoS'ing them.

They've taken down Eve online and Minecraft as well as a few other random servers so far.

 

[NigeyUK]

For as long as they're followers on twitter suggest new sites to go for this will carry on..and on.. they have an audience, and a paying audience at that, they have no incentive to stop so it seems idiots!

Well you'd hope that the larger companies would've had either things in place to stop the hack or things in place to stop sensitive data being stolen. That was proven wrong and keeps getting proven wrong.

But Minecraft? Isn't it a very small independent dev working on it? You'd hardly expect them to be able to fend off a large attack. Besides, it sounds like they DDoS'd it if they broke the website and login server*.

*I may be talking out of my arse here.

Won't do much good.

They have crossed the line to serious organised crime today tho so I'm guessing some of their "members" are gonna be feeling the weight of the law before too long.

They took down Escapist with a 0-day Apache exploit from what I read. I've yet to find out how they did EVE and Minecraft though, possibly something similar (Or a DDoS).

Edit: Oops, turned out the Apache exploit was Bethesda. Today's are all DDoS's I think.

They have been DDoSing all 3.
