LulzSec defaced the homepage of the "Cybersecurity For The 21st Century, Hacking Challenge" sponsored by Black & Berg Cybersecurity Consulting, LLC. Black & Berg who do contract work for government agencies and private companies writes:
Change this website's homepage picture and win $10K and a position working with Senior Cybersecurity Advisor, Joe Black.
You can probably guess where this is going. LulzSec altered the page background slightly and photoshopped their monocled mascot into the picture displayed on the page. And amusingly they refused the cash prize stating:
DONE, THAT WAS EASY. KEEP YOUR MONEY WE DO IT FOR THE LULZ
Given that the group recently hacked a U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations affiliate, it's not terribly surprising that they wouldn't want to compromise their location by accepting a prize from a public contest. As Admiral Ackbar would say, "It's a trap!" (Potentially, at least.) Perhaps they should have offered the prize in bitcoins.
Founder Joseph K. Black took to Twitter, posting praise for the group. He writes:
Black & Berg Cybersecurity Consulting appreciate all the hard work that you're putting in. Your Hacking = Clients for us. Thx ~Joe
We've said it once, and we'll say it again -- for better or worse, we doubt this is the last we'll see of LulzSec.
