Yeah, you are absolutely right, but still I wouldn't compare lulzsec to the orgs you mentioned or mobsters. Lets get this straight - no hacktivist or cracker was found hanging on the cell bars or shot in the woods, that's just not a comparable environment to serious organized crime. If nobody is afraid even of getting their knees broken, not to mention ditched in a hole, is there anything stopping them from snitching the minute le shows up at the door? Snitching is punishable for a reason, and there is a reason that ruleset goes all the way down to street level crime or even minor offences (that last one actually differs among places for cultural and political reasons).

Modern clandestine organisations use strict compartmentation to limit the information available to operatives so that informants have limited information. Examples of this exist even in the movies: http://grugq.github.io/blog/2013/03/11/opsec-lessons-from-resevoir-dogs/ http://grugq.github.io/blog/2013/03/11/opsec-lessons-from-re...
