LulzSec just launched a massive hack on The Sun and The Times servers this morning taking passwords, emails, promising to publish to the worst. Looks like the servers have been pulled down.

But, but LulzSec disbanded recently, wonder why they downloaded that info?

You don't need to download anything to proof inferior security.

Zenny, whoever carried it out did it under the LulzSec name. Initially there was a fake story about Ruper Murdoch's death planted on the front page of the Sun website. The operation looks to purely vindictive, not any attempt to show up poor security.

Their twitter feed's been deleted (forcibly or voluntarily I don't know) but here's a selection of the LulzSec account tweets I have stored:

"So remember that secret pastebin operation...well... This is only the beginning. F#$% YOU MURDOCH. YOU ARE NEXT."

"WE HAVE JOY WE HAVE FUN, WE HAVE MESSED UP MURDOCH'S SUN"

"thesun.co.uk - what's going on here? Something up with the website? #correct"

"Arrest us. We dare you. We are the unstoppable hacking generation and you are a wasted old sack of s&*%, Murdoch. ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER."

"Thank you gentlemen. Our theme tonight:

*Salute breaking the unbreakable since 2011. Never stop sailing. You are free."

The final part should have read:

Anonymous seem to be taking credit for the Times hack, and now the Twitter servers have been taken down. It's getting interesting.

Probably the dumbest thing for them to do right now. All this will do is probably give Murdoch an excuse as to that it wasn't only his people doing the dirty tricks but others also. If Murdoch's case is about illegally wire tapping, then attacking private servers is probably not a good thing to do right now.

Sean Hoare, the first whistleblower just up and dies for on apparent reason and gets a passing mention???

What the hell is wrong with this picture!!!!

Reminds me of Obi Wan Kenobi waving his hand and saying "These are not the droids we are looking for. Move along."

Police said the death was being treated as unexplained but was not considered suspicious

Well if the Met Police said so, it must be true...

And the hits just keep on coming. Now Ms. Brook's laptop gets found in the trash? Interesting.
