Lizard Squad Hits Malaysia Airlines Website
An anonymous reader writes: Lizard Squad, the hacking collaborative that went after the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and the North Korean internet last year, has now targeted Malaysia Airlines with an attack. Bloomberg links to images of the hacks (including the rather heartless 404 jab on its home page) and columnist Adam Minter wonders why Malaysia Airlines, which has had so much bad press in the past 12 months, was worthy of Lizard Squad's ire. In apparent answer, @LizardMafia (the org's reputed Twitter handle) messaged Mr. Minter this morning: "More to come soon. Side Note: We're still organizing the @MAS email dump, stay tuned for that."
What the hell is a "Hacking Collaborative" supposed to be? They are bunch of douchebags that used a botnet to DDOS xbl and psn, anybody could do that and that is not "hacking". Now they have replaced an image on a website, big fucking whoop.
But after seeing Beta, they thought someone else hit first.

Lizard Squad is using rented Russian botnets. I'm sure their benefactors "gently suggested" they give some attention to Malaysia Airlines.
a day late
If the dump of the Malaysia Airlines emails actually shows some cover up or incompetence in the disappeared jet, LizardSquad may be acting as a kind of whistleblower. If the emails are just a bunch of seat assignments and flight bookings, they just look mean for kicking on Malaysia Air when it's down.

Didn't these guys all just get arrested or something?
They are the epitome of the keyboard warrior bully spewing venom at people because they feel safe and anonymous behind their keyboards.

Or did the admin mess up the config files, and he's more than happy to let Lizard-Squad-we-claim-responsibility-more-often-than-North-Korea take the credit.
just want to watch the world burn.
I'm not familiar with this group. The Australian Murdoch press reported a few days ago that they're the official ISIS hacker group. Propaganda and/or fabrication to sell news?
If it acquires resources on instantiation like a duck, then its a shared_ptr<Duck>
And stop calling these _criminals_ for hackers, those of us who actually do any of the latter are sick and tored of it and it is very Offensive not to mention dangerous considering the ignorance level at play in our nations leaders, especially their technicaL insight..
So, media, ALL OF YOU: I AM CALLING YOU OUT ON THIS FALSE PRACTICE ; YOU ARE GLORIYFING CRIMINALS AND ENDAGERING SOME VERY BRIGHT PEOPLE IN THE SAME BLOW. Imagine if we started callling serious journalists (piofessional) for gossiip writers, how upset you would be, and you are no where close (amateur, at random etc, skill leess)

The hackers amongst us have had the exploit codes for ~10-11-12 years The lizard crew and sciprt kiddies amngst you are still beggin vor whatever forum to post a partial exploit code since
they cannot process the skill set to track down the info themselves in code,figure out how to manipulate it and code it up,, and frankly neither does most of you people.
Abusing things other people have discovered and coded up makes you nothing more than a broken record on repeeat. And while we are on the subject of hacking Blackhat the movie was dumbest most insulting movie this year. but thats what you get for listening tow wannabes like poulsen and that scammer scorpion 'm not inviting you into your world to see, i am asking you to stop this bulllshit before someone gets hurt, you are already causing laws to label us bad and horrible tings that we are not and draconain sentences to go with. think on your sins. you do not want a bord motivatrd hacker with lots of tme, much less groups of them hat coordinate come after you. -the battle is always over before it has begun-
Murdoch press means Rupert, I assumed

> NO, nothing validates what they do.
Very much agreed. Same goes for Guantanamo, Abu Grahib, NSA, CIA, FBI, GCHQ, Putin, Obama, Cameron, Merkel -- and what not.
We should do something about this.
Some "hackers" are black-hat, some are white-hat and some are just ass-hat.
And behold, a command prompt and he who sat upon it, his name was shutdown and -h 3:11 followed with him
Malaysians are quite belligerent people, they fought the japanese tooth and nail in WW2 and had a long nasty civil war / communist insurgency / guerilla uprising agains the britons / whatever in 1950s. If they lay their hands on the Lizard Squad, there will be no trial, but heads put on spikes in public.
Why was Malaysia Airlines "worthy" of the attack? At a guess, I'd say because they were an easy target. It's unlikely that MAS was specifically targeted. They probably poked at every company big enough to have a recognizable name, and MAS was just the first to be vulnerable.

I give up on debugging. From now on, SIGSEGV is a feature.
