They've also hacked internal facing US senate server. Hoping that's the move that makes people more serious.
Y'know, that would be a little more interesting if they had a reason for doing it ("lulz" does not count).
As of now, it's just stupid.

This is one case where I'm firmly on the side of The Man. Please arrest these childish assholes and make examples of them all.
What we need are a few really, really big arrests to scare the sperm out of these 15-year-olds.
Get on that shit, Obama.
Get on that shit, Obama.
Wow, the FBI and Interpol really need to step up their respective games. This is starting to pose a real threat to development of electronic interactive media.
Can't speak for everyone, but I'm certainly enjoying this hacking spree. But like they always say, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.
They can do more than I gave them credit for but they aren't anything to write home about. I hope these morons get some serious punishment.
actually, I CAN help being impressed. There's nothing impressive about their "skill" and at this point it's become nothing more than the equivalent of a navy seal shooting the head off a kitten as a toddler pets it.
Sure you could say "wow that's impressive" but what the fuck is the point.

This shits getting old now. Bet they can't find every member of Al-Qaeda on the internet. It'll be 'fun'.
Ahh cyber terrorism. I can't wait for these 15 year old pricks to end up in prison. Don't worry, the anal rape you'll enjoy will be for lulz too.
I'd say this is worthwhile; LulzSec do it for the lulz. Think what people who are into cracking for the money do every single day without any of these companies noticing it. That's why this is an important lesson for both consumers and companies alike; step up your fucking security!
They've given plenty of reasons and it's been explained countless times. They're exposing the lack of security within the industry and the fact that these companies are treating your private data like shit.
That would be like you going to the DMV, filling out a form with all of your information including credit card info, etc, and then the DMV leaving it out in the open for anybody to take it.
But you know, carry on being pissed at lulzsec and not say, Sony who had over 100,000 customer data on unencrypted .txt files

At least the Eve Online players have Microsoft Excel to keep them busy until the servers are back up.
I guess I've been on the Internet too long, 'cause IDGAF and I find it mildly amusing. Nowhere near as amusing as the comments on every single Jum Sterling LulzSec article, though!
@AnotherRumpKicker
Yeah, man. LulzSec are like... heroes, man. They're, like, stickin' it to the man, man. They're exposing the man's mistakes, man. They're heroes; they're just not appreciated in their own time, man.
Seriously. I don't know how you can defend LulzSec. You just can't defend them.

Script kids with packets. It's like the early 00s all over again, except these script kids are capable only of packets, copying PHP files, and exporting MySQL databases.
@AnotherRumpKicker
Good thinking. I think I'll start robbing banks to show how poorly they secure other people's money. People will be so grateful.

@AnotherRumpKicker- You know the difference between the hackers and those companies?
THE COMPANIES AREN'T TRYING TO EXTORT, EXPLOIT, AND USE OUR PRIVATE INFORMATION
I still can't believe people defend these hackers for putting thousands of people at risk simply because they happen to like a game. And how can you even blame Mojang? They're an indy company that is only now starting to expand. Of course they don't have the security measures to fend off a large scale invasion. And Lulz is not going to stop once security gets better. They will keep going in order to piss people off and gain money. There is not even a shred of the "Anonymous cause" here. They just want to hack and hack.

@Oran MacKechnie
I just did, it's really easy to defend them when you actually know what you're talking about.
Take the Bethesda hacking for example. It's been confirmed that Bethesda did not know lulzsec had even hacked into their system until after they announced it, wherein Bethesda did an investigation to find that the claim infact was true.
So, my question based on this knowlege is, how do we know other people haven't already hacked Bethesda and haven't already taken off with that information?
Lulzsec are making it public and announcing it, they're exposing the problem. Most of what Lulzsec are doing is basic SQL injections, compared to what's usually involved with hacking into industry and governmental servers, that's nothing. That's the issue, there's no security here, and we don't know for sure that this info wasn't already taken.

Fine, expose poor security, whatever. Do not fucking take down the service people enjoy. Break in, tell the company you broke in, then tell them how you did it and how they can fix it instead of publishing what you stole and laughing about it. Hell, make some MONEY off it as a consulting group. Their behavior is nothing short of juvenile, not to mention criminal. All they're doing is saying "Ooooooh, we're LulzSec and we can hack anything! Our e-peens are THIS big 3===========D" Need to get out of mom and dad's basement.
@anotherumpkicker
I can't believe people actually buy into that.
Hey let's go shoot civilians and blame them for their lack of bulletproof vests. Of course we won't kill them because that would be wrong. We'll just teach them a lesson.
Just another reason to stay off the Internet.

@AnotherRumpKicker
Explain to me one thing then:
Why not just say so?
"Hey Bethesda, we found a flaw in your security. This is it"
It would certainly help their PR and their state of 'not being a criminal'

@GoodGuyA
Yes, because, you have clearly downloaded the files they've released.
You know, how the Bethesda file had all passwords removed (Outside of the admin accounts) and no other private data outside of Usernames and Emails posted.
@RichardBlaine
Yes because banks typically leave their vaults wide open and allow anyone to walk in and take it, this is a perfect analogy you're making here.
@bEAR
Yes that's the whole point. They're not doing anything complicated, that's the whole issue there is a huge lack of security here.
@Jason346
A group hacking into a company website and then emailing the company explaining what they did gets zero publicity and does not make the news, exposing the problem. Maybe, it gets talked about for a day. Several hacking attempts using the same method over and over again on high profile companies does expose the problem.

So, next they're going to launch a major attack against the United States federal government, right? Their logic reminds me of Live Free or Die Hard...
I really find interesting when someone defend the hackers as doing something good, like 'exposing security failures'. Sorry, but I will not be grateful if someone breaks inside my house and says to me to be grateful to know that my lock is shit.
Also, @AnotherRumpKicker: And what about they hacking inside Bethesda demanding more info about Skyrim? Did that count as trying to make the internet safe? Or you just hear what you want to hear?

We don't know that other people haven't already hacked Bethesda and taken off with that information. However, we trust that 'other people' haven't nicked off with that information because we know for a fact that not everyone is part of the LulzSec Douche Parade.
