LulzSec hack The Sun & News of the World

[steve-h]

Oh no, what might happen? They get spam emails?!

No, they claimed to have their emails.

Their emails, not their email addresses

Have you ever worked in an office type environment? Lots of emails go around that I doubt many of them would want the boss to see. That is just personal embaressment - I bet there are a good few relating to various stories/scandals that I doubt they would want the general public to see either.

Bit of the old anonymous arrestus.



Probably all nobodies. Certainly not LulzSec anyway.


edit: and LulzSec seem to be up 50,000 followers/subscribers since yesterday's attacks :O

Was anyone reading Twitter this morning when Charles Arthur was trying to "interview" the person on the account at the time. It was so pathetic the way he was trying to get answers out of them, really funny at the same time.

They've just posted this as well

They're going after Charles Arthur from the Guardian at the moment and he's told them not to make enemies of journalists

Edit: Beaten by a bloody Toffee

Haha Just seen this post

LulzSec The Lulz Boat
Charles Arthur from Guardian here. I've been illegally feeding LulzSec internal info for 3 months, then I ditched them. Someone arrest me.

Oh dear Charles!

I've only just gone onto Twitter for first time in a few hours. His last tweet is funny -

One request: don’t RT the Lulzsec tweet. It could get ugly.

You've gotta love that form though

 

[Robbo]

I have to admit, the wording of some of the LulzSec stuff does make me laugh. It's the logo as well though

Indeed. Topiary's quite a funny guy to be fair.

Topiary has been arrested in.... Shetland Islands.

Scotland Yard says officers from its specialist cybercrime unit have arrested the suspected spokesman of the Lulz Security hacking group.
In a statement Wednesday the police force says that the 19-year-old was arrested at an address in Scotland's Shetland Islands on Wednesday. They say he is the name behind the hacker known as "Topiary," who has given several interviews in recent weeks.

Maybe they will transport him from the island in the Louise Boat.

 

[Mark A]

Just heard on Radio 1. Can they actually pin anything on him if he's just a spokesman?

 

[steve-h]

Probably, they'll no doubt be using him for information on _actual_ hackers.

That is assuming they've actually arrested the right guy.

 

[Glaucus]

Can't say I'm surprised, it's happening faster than I thought. But government has had enough and the crime unit is finally being given resources. Maybe a big crack down and lots off successful prosecutions, will change their mind of it's only harmless fun.

Is that the case?

I wouldn't have thought so. The fact you can get arrested for something wouldn't really make me change my mind about it?

 

[2StepSteve]

This is pretty big news.

I have to say I am quite surprised.

Not enough proxies were used, evidentially.

 

[Glaucus]

E-crime. Unit was expanded recently

I wouldn't have thought so. The fact you can get arrested for something wouldn't really make me change my mind about it?

it wouldn't? It wouldn't even make you think twice? Or remove the it's innocent fun and no one is ever prosecuted?

Everything should have been done mobile.

 

[Dj_Jestar]

I suspect that because he is in the Shetland Islands it was made a lot easier for them to track him down.

Has he fessed up to being Topiary?
