LulzSec is done

[Bladexdsl]

Good fucking riddance.
This group are not heroes, they are assholes.
Stealing customer details is one thing, releasing them on twitter is another.
Why the hell wasn't their twitter account removed?

QFT

Finally, these fucks are gone. Thank god.
Please DON'T make a comeback.

So they did their swansong on the anniversary of George Orwell's birth. Interesting or coincidence....

Holy shit. I want to call that a coincidence, but honestly, out of 365 days in a year, they choose that one? I really do hope so.

This x100. Everyone that thinks that they're heroes are hypocrites. If it happened to you with your data being breached, posted online, and stolen, you wouldn't find it amusing or heroic at all. You'd turn against them instantly and badmouth them into the ground. The simple fact is that they've made it perfectly clear that they're dangerous loaded guns that could fire randomly at anyone who they decide to hack "for the lulz". Nothing awesome or heroic about assaulting random people who haven't done you any harm for laughs (or putting it up for other people to steal and profit off).

Take for instance- would my mother deserve to have her banking account hacked and stolen from? She doesn't get into any internet drama, doesn't own a corporate business, and is just a regular user of internet services. She's just a random person who isn't hurting anyone. But she could be targeted at any time and have everything stolen from her for the sake of entertainment or profit on the part of hackers. Does she deserve such a thing? Absolutely not, nor would millions of other random people who have their data on the internet. Lulzsec doesn't care about making the internet a better place. In the end, their actions only ended up hurting users that didn't deserve such treatment, and will inevitably result in more crack downs on the people you stole and exploited the data from to suit your agenda. It was a pointless act and only going to lead to worse treatment of people by these corporations you've hacked. It certainly spread chaos, but it doesn't make you cool (just evil).

Hacking and stealing from random people that have done you no wrong is nothing short of cyber terrorism. Call it heroics all you like. Maybe i should drop a nuclear bomb on a middle eastern country in an attempt to kill the terrorist leaders. But oops, i missed them and killed the innocent civilians instead. I must be one hell of a hero though and at least i got a lot of laughs out of seeing random people getting hurt. Perhaps i should go around stealing, raping, and murdering people because it's funny or entertaining.

I didn't enjoy this nonsensical bullshit posted here every day. I won't miss it (though it's probably actually not over, this will likely inspire other cyber terrorism and theft). Giving them attention is what they wanted.

BTW- sorry merc. I consider you a buddy of mine, but i'm going to have to disagree with you here.

There goes another group of hero's. They will be missed. Luckily new groups will rise up soon.

I agree with you but still just making sure you realize this.

 

[Kwartel]

Finally they're gone. The should just contacted the companies and tell them to get their shit straight. If they didn't THEN they should make the shit public..

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

How the hell can anyone think these people are heroes? It doesn't make any sense....

 

[jalaneme]

LOL

These guys were boss.

It is good that they are gone now though.

i just don't get it, why are people worshipping these people after they have stolen all peoples personal info, people should be out there trying to hunt them down, not praising them?

+1 i agree, not only is it very bizarre that people are praising them but they are not bothered by how much information they have stolen from the public, it's like how those pickpockets work, they distract you and they steal your purse and all personal belongings, would you praise someone who is stealing your personal info and treat therm like a celebrity? why are people giving them attention, the only attention they should be getting is from the FBI and the police.

 

[AlanJohn]

At first I used to like them but after they published my personal info I started to hate them.

[DeathStrudel]

Because they're ignorant and fail to see LulzSec for what they really are.
They probably think that just because they're hackers they must be cool.

 

[cwstjdenobs]

I'm glad to see the back of them but...

Everyone that thinks that they're heroes are hypocrites. If it happened to you with your data being breached, posted online, and stolen, you wouldn't find it amusing or heroic at all.

to this I'll say they've given everyone a much needed kick up the arse. You can't trust anyone but yourself, from games companies to banks. Anyone who kept personal information online before this was an idiot. Anyone still trusting other people with it after this must be from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Yes! *does victory dance*

Problem with your statement is that without people like LulzSec in the first place, we wouldn't need a kick in the ass. They're part of the problem here, they are the ones doing the hacking and spreading it around. For millions, this will change nothing. It has nothing to do with stupidity or being on the "shallow end of the gene pool", lots of banks and other services store the personal data online regardless of whether people actually use online services. That won't change unless the internet dies either.

Saying that people should know better doesn't make a point here. They shouldn't be blamed or held accountable for the actions of hacking terrorists. No one is safe from theft in this world, online or offline (you can make a case that storing money or data anywhere is foolish, online or offline when someone could potentially break in and steal it). Stealing millions of people's data and posting it online for people to take for themselves is illegal and evil. You cannot blame a normal person for the actions of a cyber terrorist group (or any other terrorist group for that matter).

The entire issue is that without hackers or groups like LulzSec, this stuff wouldn't have happened. THEY and others that share similar practices are the source problem here, don't try to sugar coat it and pass blame off to regular people by calling them stupid. This is a dangerous world and internet, but it's not really the fault of regular people that there exists such dangerous people. They're simply evil and want to terrorize people for fun or profit.
