I was going to say something snarky, but I checked your comment history and it seems you are on here seldom enough to explain an honest lack of knowledge about them. Basically, LulzSec is a hacking group that has been attacking many targets very publicly over the past 2 months. They've been all over HN, /., reddit, etc. They've even earned some mentions in the MSM.
Basically, they're notable for a) the number of targets they've hit, b) how brazen they are about it (hitting the FBI, CIA, and other law enforcement agencies), and c) how vigorously they court publicity (270k followers on Twitter).
- mrb 15y agoI was being sarcastic :-)
- redthrowaway 15y agoAnd here I was, sparing you my snark. You've made me re-evaluate humanity, sir, and I'm not impressed with the results.
- jaremy 15y agoI appreciated your brief synopsis. I only know a little bit about LulzSec, and the added information helped. So your efforts were not entirely lost...
- redthrowaway 15y agoI appreciate your appreciation. If you want to learn more, the wikipedia article on them [1] is pretty decent. [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lulzsec http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lulzsec
