so to be fair this is actually where we are today, if you remember the efforts of anonymous and sony, etc...
- pyre 13y agoTo be fair: 1) Anonymous/Lulzsec aren't necessarily a best-of-the-best of the 'hacker world.' Do they want to raise the ire of even more skilled people? 2) Anonymous/Lulzsec are/were in it mostly for the publicity, and 'cheap thrills.' I'm sure that they could have done a lot more damage had they been focused on being as malicious as possible.

- pyre 13y agoI purposely expanded 'for the lulz' into something a bit more succinct.
- pauljburke 13y agoYou actually expanded it into something that by definition is less succinct.
- tomrod 13y agoLulz may be brief, but it is hardly clear.
- akama 13y agoNumber 1 is a very good point and something those companies should keep in mind. Anonymous/Lulzsec are basically like children in terms of what they could do. Very skilled people could do substantially more disruption and damage.
- tantalor 13y agoBeing actively targeted would certainly encourage membership.
