  1. Friends around the globe,

  2. We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us.

  3. 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. All to selflessly entertain others - vanity, fame, recognition, all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy. It's what we all crave, even the seemingly lifeless politicians and emotionless, middle-aged self-titled failures. You are not failures. You have not blown away. You can get what you want and you are worth having it, believe in yourself.

  4. While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to this identity permanently. Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people. People with a preference for music, a preference for food; we have varying taste in clothes and television, we are just like you. Even Hitler and Osama Bin Laden had these unique variations and style, and isn't that interesting to know? The mediocre painter turned supervillain liked cats more than we did.

  5. Again, behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the AntiSec movement. We believe in it so strongly that we brought it back, much to the dismay of those looking for more anarchic lulz. We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us. The support we've gathered for it in such a short space of time is truly overwhelming, and not to mention humbling. Please don't stop. Together, united, we can stomp down our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.

  6. So with those last thoughts, 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, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.

  7. Thank you for sailing with us. The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we head for the horizon.

  8. Let it flow...

  9. Lulz Security - our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011, and a shout-out to all of our battlefleet members and supporters across the globe

Obviously the FBI goes after low lying fruit like Anonymous ... and is 100% useless against the real cyber threat from China. FBI = fail.

Authorities acted on information provided by Hector Monsegur, who was the leader of LulzSec before being arrested last year. Monsegur, also known as "Sabu," pleaded guilty last August to 12 hacking charges and faces up to 124 years in prison, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The four hackers arrested in the U.K. were identified as Ryan Ackroyd, also known as "kayla"; Darren Martyn, also known as "pwnsauce"; Donncha O'Cearebhail, also known as "palladium"; and Jake Davis, also known as "topiary."


Hammond is also charged with stealing data from some 60,000 credit cards stored on Stratfor's site and using it to make $700,000 in purchases.

OK. well ... that is a crime. That needs some jail time.

It will be another FBI failure if Sabu, kayla, pwnsauce, palladium or topiary do even 1 day in jail. All 5 should be given suspended sentences and recruited into government anti-cybercrime programs. Especially Monsegur - he's good.
 
They committed crimes and should be punished as such. I don't like LulzSec. Their targets were capricious in nature and in no way were a force for good.

Anonymous proper, now, there is another story. They do some wonderful things but sprinkle it with just God-awful stupid stuff that causes more harm than good by being a catalyst for things like SOPA & PIPA. Their name is used like the boogy man to ramrod terrible legislation down our throats by the RIAA and MPAA. A lot of the fight to keep the internet free is in spite of their efforts and not because of them.
