SOUNDS LIKE A ROUND UP
what you do is allow these groups some publisity
then create a cooler than you persona
then anounce anyone can join
the idea is to round up people who could be helpful idiots

I agree with you. I just don't think there is enough to say it yet, without the smiley face.
I am certain we will find out very shortly though.

These groups aren't government controlled. DDoS attacking and low-level hacking is all that they do. There has not been one single ''operation'' that they have conducted which has had any significance, nor any repercussions beyond a few minor, easily forgettable ripples.
They are just spotty kids and a bunch of other social outcasts with ''issues'' who like to indulge in these activities to gain a sense of belonging and purpose.
The constant repetitive slang and ''memes'' are tell-tale signs of disenfranchised and disillusioned people who desperately want to be part of a group; this is an attempt to mimic real-life social constructs and create this ''language'' to belong and feel like they are something other than zitty teenagers with awkward social skills.
Surely no one believes that our respective government's agencies are this unsuccessful and ineffective ?!

The main anti-LulzSec argument suggests that we're going to bring down more Internet laws by continuing our public shenanigans, and that our actions are causing clowns with pens to write new rules for you. But what if we just hadn't released anything? What if we were silent? That would mean we would be secretly inside FBI affiliates right now, inside PBS, inside Sony... watching... abusing...

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) have arrested a 19-year-old man in a pre-planned intelligence-led operation.
The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act, and Fraud Act offences and was taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains in custody for questioning.
Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing.
The PCeU was assisted by officers from Essex Police and have been working in co-operation with the FBI.
