Lulzsec was recently hacked by a group of TWO Teenagers that go by the name TeamPoison.



Pissed off at LulzSecs posturing with Anonymous not exactly on their friends list, either a couple of teenaged hackers calling themselves TeaMp0isoN not only told LulzSec that they were going to hack them, but actually did so after giving forty-eight hours notice.
Calling themselves black hat HACKtivists, they also apparently hate scene **** [sic], the likes of which apparently LulzSec and Anonymous are. Money is not our motive, they say, and after hacking LulzSec, they posted a statement that acknowledged at least one of them was seventeen years old. Apparently, they even told one outed LulzSec member how they hacked his site.
So, who the hell are these guys? Well, we know they dont like Israel, they may be British nationals but appear to be Pakistani and very pro-Palestinian. They seem to have a protective feeling toward Islam.
Anyway, Anonymous attempted to get at them, but that failed.
I could say these guys are new and on the scene, but thatd just piss em off. Go get em, boys. As of yet, LulzSec has completely been quiet about the incident, but the Anonyops Twitter, which does not claim to be apart of Anonymous, but knows a lot about them, has had a few things to say, which were directed at Twitter to the hacktivists:

They didn't hack Lulzsec, they defaced a blog belonging to someone who appeared to be connected to LulzSec.

They didn't even hack it, they used a wordpress exploit.

/thread.

I hate Lulzsec.

What is Lulzsec?

luzsec and anon need to shrivel up and die. I applaud teampoison for their actions... now they should shrivel up and die too...

I swear, WW3 isn't going to be fought on battlefields, it going to be fought on the internet.

Lulzsec and Anonymous are not the same thing.

Ok. So Lulzsec is not Anonymous.

A start, any more info?

QFT, battles are already being fought on the internet.

Ok, had a look at this. China has learned that lesson, they take the internet seriously and use it abroad and control it at home as best they can.

While its unhealthy to be paranoid about these sorts of things, hactivism can be done by anyone, from kiddies in their parents basements to government agencies.

Just because the taunts that accompany many attacks are written in fluent fukkwit it doesnt mean they come from kiddies. Anyone could have done this, skills allowing and it would make a lot of sense for a government agency to mask its own movements behind some lolspeak from some phantom teen hackerz.

I am not saying the CIA took down LulzSec, not at all. If press reports are to be beleived LulzSec took a poke at the CIA, so they might take a poke back one way or another, especially if they are threatening to expose documents and it looks like they might deliver. So frankly I am open to suggestion, these people could be anybody.

Because the internet is anonymous, for the most part I am not willing to blame cyber attacks on hacktivists anymore, they could be agencies. Government have realised the problems and if they cannot deal with the Internet through effective legislation they will try other means. Since the drama surrounding Wikileaks, if not for a long time before, I suspect the chances that western agencies are not doing some monkey work of their own is hovering around 0%.

The internet isn't anonymous any more than writing a letter is. Given enough time and effort any given bit of internet activity can be tied to the person who engaged in it with about as much certainty as that which is involved in handwriting analysis. The issue is that its very rarely worthwhile to expend the energy necessary to track any given hacker when resources can be devoted to improving security.

Very true. However assuming that covert government organisations use the internet, which some openly profess to doing, might they have superior means of masking the source of their traffic. Possibly by means not available to regular users or even users with inside knowledge. The internet savvy might collectively know all the software tricks, they might not, let us assume they do. What about physical links? Can government agencies have extra wiring leading to extra hardware that is informally but firmly connected to data hubs in physical locations within their jurisdiction. Those links might run custom non-standard software or possibly granted control access from select hardwired terminals only and not remotely bypassable? Compared to what else we can do with IT this is not pie-in-the-sky science fiction and intelligence agencies have the budget and will to do such things.

I cringe when I think about this, this is why we can't have nice things, because these anonymous hackers, and just about every /b/tard run amok on the internet, doing stupid gak for the "lulz", when really, it makes it tougher on everyone else, just look at the jesse slaughter incident, or the hal turner incident. They are a cancer that is slowly killing the internet.

I somehow find it odd that both lulzsec threads on this site that i have seen have being started by Zn? If you confess now im sure people wont go totally crazy. (btw this s a joke dont take it in any way seriously)

Sweet heavens, what an obnoxious title. I thought we already passed the age of "1337 sp33k"
