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."

    What, life get too hard? Clearly someone got close to kicking them out of the game, and they ran before that would happen.

    They serve the Laughing God. There is a definite, divine purpose. You just don't understand it. This had nothing to do with causing random people harm. There are no innocent people. There are problems which are obvious to many, yet few act. Those who choose not to act are NOT innocent. They are part of the problem. You may be familiar with the Christian Bible and it's statement that "God" dislikes lukewarm people... Similar concept. Pick a side. It's better than being the terrain over which the war is fought, because terrain is just in the way and serves no purpose of it's own. It is there to be exploited.

    Every last one of you spouting your BS against them, calling them weenies for apparently quitting, talking down what they did "oh, they only did this or this, it's nothing."

    Well *you* certainly didn't do it. Nobody else was doing it. They made a point to many companies about their lax and/or overestimated security measures, and managed to dump some very useful info exposing a group that continuously abuses their power stepping on our rights. What the hell have you done lately besides run your mouth here on /.? Hmmm? Yeah, not a damn thing besides bend over and take it up the shitter like the sheep you are. Talk tough on the internet, QQ all day every day, and never do a thing.

    Try paying attention to and doing something about what "LulzSec" showed, instead of just being so much more useless yammering on the Internet. If people focused more on action than words, we wouldn't have any kind of need for groups like them.

    Can't everyone be right? Maybe they're both cowards and idiots.
