Hah.

They can't even spell "discovered".
Not to mention that it should be "mogul's"...

Thought this would be informative.

Anyways, I found this somewhat amusing.

For about 10 seconds I thought Lulzsec were like... firing on the sun, then I realised you meant the press.

he's the big boss, he's got a lot of explaining to do about what he did and didn't know.

The sun's page doesn't redirect to lulzsec's twitter anymore. *yawns*

 

[oxenh]

woah, they are back,at least for now XD

I can't wait to see if this makes the paper tomorrow.
I mean I hate The Sun, worst publication ever.

Still, as much as I dislike the sun and enjoy seeing this happen, it's not right.

I'm sorry, but at first glance the title is hilarious.

Also, I don't think it's OK.

They rode on the boat to get there. They was done attacking everything under the sun.

Wait, what happen to that 75,000 followers?

The title made me lol. It seems like something lulzsec would say.

A few weeks ago: "we are dissapearing from earth": lulzsec
Now: "lulz you are gatting hakked

": lulzsec
Did anyone else see it coming? Cause... I did even before they announced they would stop

The title does sound funny.

They don't need any more attention.

*lock*

So they took a web site down for about two hours. I call that a failure. Not even worth comment really.

how is that a fail, you probably can't even take down a website for a minute, and fyi they didn't take it down, they rerouted the site to their twitter account, its all for the lulz, I'm sure they could hack it again but what would be the point of that I ask you?

I look at as they rerouted web traffic for a little over an hour and almost as soon as it happened the it guys fixed it. To me the only thing they did is embarrass themselves. I'm lulzing at them. If it were me I wouldn't take credit for what I see as a failure. For example it doesn't make the news when my cable goes out for two hours or the power. That's a hell of a lot more disruptive then taking one web site down for a very very short time. If you think that's noteworthy that makes you pretty lame.

your scenario has nothing to do with hacking a site, they did it for the lulz. What YOU see as a failure is subjective, perhaps they just wanted to attract attention. In that respect they succeeded. If anything the example you put shows that lulzsec can command alot of interest with such menial "hacks" while more "important" things get unnoticed. They did it to make fun of Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, if the exposure was enough to do that(and I believe that that was their intention) then it succeeds, cnn for example has made note of this. Success in this case isn't based on length of time but on exposure which I believe lulzsec is all about, showing they can do it for any or no reason at all. No need to resort to calling people names dickfour, lets be mature now.

Just to show you how lame and petty Lulz is. How many people here visit the Sun website? Out of the five people that couldn't gain access to the Sun web page all of them found it working an hour latter. Basically a fart in a crowded room causes more disruption. The impact of Lulz was zero. So yeah if you think this is cool you obviously have a mentality that's still on the level of thinking fart jokes are cool.
