LulzSec Announces That It Is Done

Posted by timothy on from the oh-they-all-say-that dept.

MaxBooger writes "LulzSec, the notorious hacker group that's been on a rampage, just announced that it's disbanding. This follows 50 days' chaos during which time it took down several websites (including CIA.gov at one point), exposed passwords, exposed documents of the Arizona penal system, and at one point threatened to hit Too Big To Fail banks. Obviously, it's possible that the group will not abide by its promise to quit. Nobody knows."

    I fail to see how anything they did could be justified even if it was for a 'legitimate' cause. Taking away others' ability to participate in the community [network] is universally wrong.

    But they didn't. Sony did that, as a knee-jerk reaction. Don't blame LulzSec for Sony's ill-considered response.

    The funny part is if they didn't disband and a significant number got nailed, everyone would be saying how stupid they were for not quitting while they were ahead.

    Course that's not to say a significant number won't get nailed eventually anyway, just noting that crowds are fun
