No offense merc, but no one can really say whether that's what they're really after. Maybe it's to get rich and/or famous. Just because they say something, doesn't mean it's actually true. They more than likely have some sort of motive besides "for the lulz" unless they are indeed psychotic (which i won't discount). Don't believe everything you hear. By the way, doing something that ends up hurting people just for fun is what i'd consider "terrorism", regardless whether there's any sort of motive involved (even wanting to have fun is a motive).

they have straight-up said (several times) they are not in this for any noble reasons and do it purely for the lulz


Depends on the age. If they're old enough, some courts may try them as an adult even if they're not legal adults. Regardless of that though, the parents could get in serious trouble. And they'd still be punished anyways, even if not imprisoned.whoomph said:I'm wondering what would happen to these guys if they were found to be under the age of criminal responsibility? I've read that it's 18 in most US states and generally lower around the rest of the world.
If you have a look on their twitter feed they have links to their version including audio of a conference call. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of their behaviour Karim whatsit is a twat who put people at risk through his own ineptness. I think they did people a favour showing this idiot up for what he is.Joe88 said:Karim Hijazi is saying the exact opposite, saying lulzsec was attempting to extort money and information about botnets, he also released IRC logs

I wouldn't really say kicking a sleeping lion in the nuts says much about your own nuts. Especially when hiding behind a weak cloak of anonymity. It's suicide if they mess with the right people. Then who will care about your balls when you're either in jail or worse, also having caused more harm to regular people than the people you're targeting?Eckin said:what a nice set of balls they have there huh.

I quite agree. Assuming these guys really are just doing it for the lulz, they could strike anyone for any reason they see fit. And if they did it to something almost everyone uses (say banking, internet service, cell phones), then sold your information to god knows who, i doubt anyone would be applauding them. I see no reason to applaud these guys. I wouldn't think it good to do this to any major corporation where there are a lot of customers who end up getting the full brunt of the attack. No matter how much i hate the corporation.phoenixgoddess27 said:I can answer that for you![]()
I think it's ridiculous that they're causing so much trouble, not giving a shit who's at risk, just for the laugh. People say, "Yeah! Go LulzSec!" until something they enjoy gets hacked just for the humor. Then they're all, "I hope you drop the soap"![]()
