Lulz Security has announced it is done with terrorising the cyber world following a 50-day campaign. LulzSec has announced on its Twitter page it is disbanding the hacking group The rogue hacking group gained worldwide recognition for claiming breaches on the websites of computer games giants Sony and Nintendo, the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) in the UK. But it seems the collective's antics, which they claim they did "just because we could", have apparently come to an end. "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," it announced in a statement. "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 ... hate, even love. LulzSec statement LulzSec went on to say that it only ever intended to operate for 50 days as an attempt to revive the Anti-Sec movement, which is opposed to the computer security industry. "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," it said. The message claims to come from "our crew of six" and was announced on their website and on Twitter. But there was no way of contacting the group or its members to verify the release. The home where Ryan Cleary was arrested in the raid Police swooped on this home in Essex and arrested a teen suspected of hacking The so-called retirement comes a day after the group tweeted: "If President Obama wears a shoe on his head throughout the entirety of his next big speech, we will cease fire on all targets forever." It also followed claims the group leaked one last data dump with secret information allegedly taken from AT&T, AOL, Disney, Universal, EMI and the FBI. Critics have accused the group of being nervous and said it has more than likely made the sudden decision to disband as they know police are getting closer to tracing them. A British teenager suspected of involvement with the LulzSec hacking spree was arrested after police investigating the notorious hacking group swooped on his Essex home last week.
Looks like its getting to hot for them, oh well, as they know they have been exposed now by Jester, Awinee, FakeGreggHoush, Black Kidder, Asherah, DustLava and web ninjas. Hopefully arrests will start pretty soon.
^Imo they didnt, they only exposed 'known' issues and did DDos due to the hordes of noobs out there who like to download illegal (otherwise know as 'Free') stuff along with viruses and trojans unknowingly. they didnt actually hack anything, as many 'Hackers' have pointed out, they are not hackers at all. Their downfall was being anti-sec at the expense of many individuals, posting their private info for all to see and then acting like they were all big shots, now real hackers have taken notice and lulzsec are running back to anonymous in the hope real hackers protect them, the same anonymous they were moaning about before they tried to start their own outfit. If things go according to plan, we should see these guys getting arrested over the coming weeks because their identities have been discovered.
