Not directly related to the article but I think it is also worthy to remark that this spike in attention that the "hacking" scene got recently (whatever are the reasons, even if I think espeed[1] might have a point on this) is of course very welcome by those who perpetrate these acts, but also —and that's what I want to emphase— very well used by them. The communication of Anonymous and LulzSec is exemplary at many levels (the language used in the writings, the use of memes and media...). I continue to want to compare this movement with the Yippie movement[2], at least on the handling of media and communications. Having read "Do It!" by Jerry Rubin several times during high school, I really feel similarities between the two movements on this subject. I don't have the book with me but it would really be worth reading it again and try to make some comparisons on actual examples rather than vague ideas (usage of the medias, "for teh lulz" as part of the motivations, relation with the authorities...) like I'm doing here.
