    TFA doesn't tell us much except that Sony got hacked and some guy got arrested. The summary sums up the whole thing.

  2. Robert Cavanaugh (Not Apart of Lulzsec) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative

    This kid isn't apart of LulzSec, he was in the process of being recruited. As you can see his arrest as no effect on LulzSec.

    The article is pretty bad:

    One member of the group, Robert Cavanaugh, was apprehended and taken into custody by the FBI after an apparent counter hack, according to an internal chat log from their private IRC server, posted through SecList, a network mapper website.

    SecList? I think they meant the full-disclosure mailing list, which happens to be archived by seclists.org, which happens to be a "sister site" of insecure.org (the home of the nmap network mapper).

    Anyway, here is the relevant post

    I'm guessing that at least part of the fun is the support they're getting. If that support evaporated, I think they'd find other targets. They want bitcoin donations, they talk about how many people follow them on twitter. They care about the support they get. So I don't think your assessment is entirely accurate.
