LulzSec Teams With Anonymous, In Operation AntiSec

c0lo writes "After a brief spat where the notorious Anonymous hacking collective sniped at Lulzsec, the 'upstart' hacking collective, for crowing about low-rent Denial of Service attacks on the CIA and 4chan websites, the two groups have apparently teamed up in operation Anti-Sec. The operation's 'top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments. If they try to censor our progress, we will obliterate the censor with cannonfire anointed with lizard blood.' We can only predict that the following will be unpredictable: store canned food and flash batteries, change your eBanking password daily."

Re:Impact on bitcoins?

[betterunixthanunix]

No, the "haters" are people who understand that currencies which cannot be used to legally settle debts and whose design inevitably leads to a deflationary trend should be avoided. Bitcoin is not even a fiat currency, since it was not created by a government (see: definition of fiat currency).

It's OK though, you can continue to assume that we live in a world where everyone either supports Bitcoin or thinks we should run back to the gold standard.

Dear Slashdot,

Have to agree here. Sounds like a bunch of n00bs who have had some lucky success with sloppy security. Just a matter of time before they're dragged into the daylight, all sniveling about how they didn't really mean to cause any harm.

After the CIA attack it's safe money the spooks are already well along in backtracking the traffic.

One thing to remember - keep abusing the internet and the government will begin passing laws, with the sheeple all too willing to let it happen, which clamps down on network communications. With only a few large providers of most traffic, they'll just order them to put some stuff in place (assuming it isn't already, they did find that Craigslist killer pretty fast, eh?) and then one morning we'll read about the swoop in the news, between forest fires in the next idiot in government scandal.
