From what I've heard, they're moronic wannabe-hackers.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.Way I see it, they are just cuntbiscuits of a high caliber.
Lulzsec are like Anonymous without the redeeming qualities.
My name is Cu Chulainn. Beside the raging sea I am left to moan. Sorrow I am, for I brought down my only son.They may very well be done/split up already. See the other Lulzsec thread for information.
Who watches the watchmen?They're scriptkiddies with a grudge. It'll blow over.
"Is fearr Gaeilge briste ná Béarla cliste."They were so despised that even other hackers were gunning for them.
really? phew thank god
"Contests fought between two masters are decided instantly. An invisible battle is now raging between the two of them." Lulu vs SchneizelReally they actually pissed of other hackers. That takes some effort.
Who watches the watchmen?And is also not the best idea.
ᐅᖃᐅᓯᖅ ᐊᑕᐅᓯᖅ ᓈᒻᒪᔪᐃᑦᑐᖅNo kidding. I wonder if they pissed of any particular groups?
Begs question if they stepped on the toes of the Anons possibly?

Who watches the watchmen?If they would more wisely choose targets, then I would applaud them.
But they haven't chosen wisely.
Barkey: No kidding. Like I said how many toes did they trod on before some folks let them know they had done something really stupid.
Who watches the watchmen?
Based on what I've read, one of the people they pissed off was a pro-USA hacker called The Jester. Apparently, this is the same guy responsible for the DDoS attacks on some terrorist websites and Wikileaks.

Indeed, if they had stuck to corporation/government emails and kept customer info out of it I'd probably be less angry with them.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?I'd rather they kept sticking it to big business and helping revolutionaries from the Arab Spring stay online. That would have been fine.
Wait...they may have pissed off the Jester! Wow not very bright. I doubt he is the only one though.
Who watches the watchmen?All I know is they've got the Australian government's internet filter running scared.
And that it's sad that I want them to hack the hell out of the filter because I have no confidence in the actual government coming to their senses.
Also, they might serve as a credible, 21st Century replacement for the IRA in a possible upcoming cyberpunk thriller novel I'm working on.
Hell Hasn't Earned My TearsAt first they seemed ok, but their recent attacks have pretty much crossed the Moral Event Horizon.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayFrom what I've heard, they are like Anonymous but without constraints. Anonymous doesn't usualy target anyone in way that could be life threatening as far as I know, only causing a lot of bad publicity and economic damage.
It depends on what you consider wrong.
But they are definitely dicks.
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.Lulzsec are generally PlayfulHackers with agenda. It is a good thing, although releasing private information about innocent people was very low and that's why I don't support them. But their goals are good.

My dad thinks that their morally worse than people hacking for money. These guys do it For the Lulz, when has that ever been a decent motivation for criminal activity?

I admit I don't know much about hacking, but it seems that these guys are being dicks for no good reason. They wreak havoc and destruction on the internet, costing companies obscene ammounts of money, seemingly all for the For the Evulz, and people seem to applaud them for it. Am I missing something?
They even take REQUESTS
