LulzSec Hacks the US Senate

Posted by Soulskill on from the going-for-the-gusto dept.

jfruhlinger writes "LulzSec might not be as famous as Anonymous — they're really best known for hacking sites they like, to prove a point about security — but they may have just raised their profile significantly, posting what appears to be data taken from an internally facing server at the US Senate. However, the fun-loving group might find that the Senate reacts a lot more harshly to intrusions than, say, PBS did." The group also recently grabbed data from Bethesda Softworks.

    On another note, does Amazon keep any sort of network/VM logging from someone who spun up/used/spun down a virtual machine with a prepaid visa card?

    No, but they have shipping addresses of everybody who ever ordered a Guy Fawkes mask, which should be close enough for government work.

    The real question here is "Who is afraid of the big black bat?"

    Most likely have nothing to live for and are probably wanting to end it all by making others suffer.

    Are you talking about the hackers or the senators?
