After 50 Days Of Attacks on almost everyone out there. The group LulzSec puts up its hacker top hat.  LulzSec last released a torrent of data that had hundreds of classified documents of personal emails, names and phone numbers from Arizona law enforcement.

The group of  just only 6 people were able to hack the servers of  Sony, PBS, the US Senate, the CIA, top gaming sites like  EVE Online, Minecraft and League of Legends. Since the group was doing all this because they could, there is no reason to believe they are lying about being behind hacks on  Scotland Yards and the UK Census.

The group has been doing what it wants when it wants without anyone being able to stop them. I think this is the best thing that could have happened. Am I anti establishment? No, but it does show how vulnerable are public and private establishments are. This group was doing this for fun. We should be very thankful for that. It should be interesting to see how companies and governments reinforce their servers after this.

This was a best case scenario. It was a group just out for fun and to open eyes to the lack of security of organisations. Now had this been a malicious group out for harm, it could have been a horrible outcome.

 

Below is the statement from the group:

Friends around the globe,

We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us.

For the past 50 days we’ve been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could. All to selflessly entertain others – vanity, fame, recognition, all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy. It’s what we all crave, even the seemingly lifeless politicians and emotionless, middle-aged self-titled failures. You are not failures. You have not blown away. You can get what you want and you are worth having it, believe in yourself.

While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to this identity permanently. Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people. People with a preference for music, a preference for food; we have varying taste in clothes and television, we are just like you. Even Hitler and Osama Bin Laden had these unique variations and style, and isn’t that interesting to know? The mediocre painter turned supervillain liked cats more than we did.

Again, behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the AntiSec movement. We believe in it so strongly that we brought it back, much to the dismay of those looking for more anarchic lulz. We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us. The support we’ve gathered for it in such a short space of time is truly overwhelming, and not to mention humbling. Please don’t stop. Together, united, we can stomp down our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.

So with those last thoughts, it’s time to say bon voyage. Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind – we hope – inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.

Thank you for sailing with us. The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we head for the horizon.

Lulz Security – our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011, and a shout-out to all of our battlefleet members and supporters across the globe

Let it flow…
