Lulzsec announces retirement, leaks final details

goodbye internet nazis

My password for Battlefield Heroes Beta was leaked

Luckily, it was my throwaway one.

let me speculate, FBI actually capture the leader and blackmail rest of the group.

Finally got bored or getting the hell out of Dodge?

Good riddance.

@Fin
Its your own fault. Next time choose PW wisely…

@KrazyKraut If they leak passwords then it doesn’t matter how well constructed your password is.

Internet banter has it, that this group was undone by another that discovered and intended to expose real names, addresses and similar details of Lulzsec members.

Good riddance, fuck off already. Seriously…what pathetic minds do these folks have? They go out by releasing alot of password. Exactly what is their goal? They want people to be proud of them or something? What sad people.

@9, They do it for the ‘lulz’. The most pathetic reason there is. They enjoy pissing off honest & hardworking people. You would be surprised how many criminals have done what ever they have done just for the lulz.

#3 Let me speculate some more on that.

The cyber police backtraced one of them and now they realised how the consequences will never be the same.

So now with the certainty that one day police will be knocking on their doors, rather than being caught red-handed with their past activities they will be busying themselves wiping off any evidence of their hacking exploits. Sit pretty and be all smug when the authorities do come.

Wasn’t this group formed several years ago? I seem to remember they did a lot of stuff a couple of years ago x)

I smell bollocks.

They’re just going deeper undeground and be back once the steam around them boils off.

@10…sigh…that’s all i can say about it. They surely are some sad individuals.

Too bad.. I was looking forward to more. Oh well. All good things must come to an end. and for all the ones who are offended by my opinion: it’s my opinion. And that’s final.

@15….right…

care to explain why you say this?

Couldn’t handle the heat.

@16, He’s clearly trolling. I couldn’t believe that any tool actually enjoys a series of disruptive, intrusive & illegal attacks that compromised millions of peoples’ personal information. Expect maybe the drooling morons causing it.

Ok, everyone can stop panicking, i’m not on any of the lists.

sounds like an idiot’s good bye letter to me.

They got owned by “Web Ninjas”. Their chat logs were leaked and all of the members personal details too.

Luzsec got doxed (identities exposed) by other hackers which is probably what sent them scurrying. Security authorities ain’t going to forget about them either just because they’ve stopped their antics.

you have brought love in my heart <3

I wish they get arrested!

f*king assholes.

I just don’t get people, they think they are against the government but hurt the innocent.

If they get arrested, I hope no one employees them but jail their asses for criminal offence,

@6: Ouch.

Lulzsec got fucked

@22 Oh wow.

I’m reading that stuff, it’s pretty hilarious.

reading that stuff, it’s dress for women

I don’t know if the feds that “raided” Laurelai’s place were this polite on purpose or have been fooled by him/her just like that.
In the second case they should feel a bit ashamed now.

Also, I think Lorelai’s career is pretty much finished now.
Don’t fret to do the operation, though , I guess the inmates will find you better as you are now.

Yeah, they just happen to retire just as the hackers hunting them are closing in and their organisation is falling apart.

“Mission Accomplished” – In the Bush sense of the term.

@NeoSquall Several other hackers have been actively hunting them down. They see them as having overstepped the ethics of the hacking community, and by all accounts they seem to be getting extremely close within the last few weeks.

http://twitter.com/#!/th3j35t3r – This guy especially.

There goes vg247 again, too busy reading/republsihing a hacking groups press releases to report the real facts and reasons behind a story, in this case a key member in prison awaiting trial (vg reported their denial of this as absolute fact) and hacks/tactics against them by the wider community. Seems even many haclkers feel they are sanctimonious hypocrites. Others know that if you want to succeed as a hacker, you dont whore yoursself and your work to the media. Anonymopus and Lulz were too fond of the attention, media whores.

And bang goes half of VG247s output. You have to get back onto talking about gaming all the time, rather than those anonymous defenders of freedom…..

@32 For someone so constantly indignant, you don’t seem very fond of caring to learn anything about what causes that indignation.

Ryan Cleary provided Lulzsec with a chatroom. He’s mentioned once or twice in the logs that have been released, and there’s absolutely no evidence that he has participated in the actions of the group, nor has he been charged in connection to any of their crimes.

There is a possiblity that he provided them with a botnet, but that seems to be speculation at this point. And he most certainly was never a key member of any sort, based on what’s currently known.

One of the rules Ive learnt in life is to ignore thosw who profess to know everything. so off you go.

Yupp, lulzsecurity.com is down. Or not, whatever. Good to know real hackers are helping putting a stop to this shit.

Hm. Rainer has the right of it, but not Gekidami. The Web Ninjas were just a group collating data gathered by others, much like TheJester was. There were actually some real hacking groups involved in this.

TeaMp0isoN for one.

@34 The thing is, I don’t have to profess anything of what’s stated above, it’s very easily verified.

I realize it has to suck having someone rain on your parade, every time you show yourself to be little more than an entitled moron with a caustic attitude, but really, reading a little and attempting to gain a sense of context goes a long way to prevent these little hissyfits of yours.

@DSB Yeah, I know. My first comment was based on what the original article said but, after reading the stuff posted by Rainer, I can actually believe they’ve disbanded and running into hiding.

Good job from the real hackers epurating the Internet from this filth.

As for Ryan Cleary, he’s just an idiot member of AnonOps, who operated some IRC chats and sites for them and then separated himself from the main force to build his own “personal army”.
Of course he just fell short when faced with the hardship of life as a script kiddie.

Also, in regards to Cleary, DSB is right. He also supplied a place (but not the primary one) for AnonOps, and the IRC of ED. Anything that takes ED down a peg or two is okay in my book, so I don’t mind seeing Cleary arrested at all.

And, just as an FYI, this is why I tend to prefer Anonymous to AnonOps. AnonOps are the ones that tend to do DDoS attacks, Anonymous have been doing more interesting things of late. One of the most fun was Operation: Leakspin. Finding the most interesting, but least exposed leaks on WikiLeaks and sharing them, talking about them, even reading them aloud on Youtube.

Like they said in their release about this: “They don’t fear the LOIC (denial of service software), they fear exposure.”

That’s the Anonymous that I tend to occasionally like. Really not that fond of AnonOps at all, but Anonymous can occasionally do some good.

@36
No. TeaMp0isoN just hacked a Lulzsec members site because they pissed them off over twitter. What has brought Lulzsec down was all of their details getting leaked by Web Ninjas.

No hacking was involved, just research. I guess that must break your little heart, i know how much of a hard-on hackers give you.

@25
the longer the password and the more different types of characters your pw has, the harder it is to crack the hashes. thats a fact. ofc is a aes-265 crackable, but it would take hundred of years. the same is it with the PW. and ofc how good the database was secured where the user stuff was saved. it always depends how the stuff was saved.

try to use google translation:

btw: is “teamposion” the old “Poisonbox”?

I hope they get what they deserve.

Not sorry to see the back of this pack of wankers.

@42: You don’t get it, do you? It doesn’t matter how difficult your PW is, if the people who’re responsible for keeping it safe aren’t keeping it safe.

lulzsec didn’t crack the pw, they cracked the place where all the pw’s were saved. Most of them probably in a txt-file.

@3
Would be awesome if that was the case

ofc i get it. but i am talking about Battlefield Heroes. The hashes were cracked. The text file was, among other hacks, in the Sony Case. I dont want to have the last, ofc you are right. But afaik were the hashes in the BFH-case encrypted by a tool. Like I posted the heise.de article and like u said: it always depends how you save the PW.
And when you have a long, mixed PW its harder to encrypt them. Thats what I wanted to say.and his case I think I am right too.

they are working in facebook now with geocrap.
