LulzSec shuts down.

[AnonymousOne]

After fifty days of causing chaos for corporations, governments, and other users online LulzSec's operations have come to an end.

Why has it ended?

Well, simply put LulzSec wasn't Anonymous. LulzSec was used as a group to drum up support for AnonOps which had been hit hard last May with the loss of AnonOps.ru and AnonOps.net. It served it's temporary goal of drawing attention and the members of LulzSec are now rejoining with Anonymous.

The strength of Anonymous lies in the fact that there are so many of us and we're all fairly difficult to trace. Some moreso than others. By putting themselves out there as a separate group they were in greater danger of discovery, and so they are seeking to become a part of Anonymous again.

Anonymous has now taken control over Operation Anti-Sec, and is beginning to launch new Operations with the strength in numbers we've gained from LulzSec.

It will be interesting to see how LulzSec escapes the wrath of the Governments and Corporations of the world.

Sad face. They brought much lulz in those fifty days.

That's because the only active member was arrested I suspect.

[¿Que?]

I know this isn't directly related, but I went to whatistheplan forum and it said registration was closed. What gives, do I need an invite?

Surprisingly not the case. Ryan Cleary just ran the IRC server for the group. Not to mention some of the most spectacular hacks ocurred after he was arrested.

Odd. I just tried to register a new account and it went through with no problem. If you would like I could register an account for you and then give you control of that account.

As much as I love cats and image macros, I must respectfully disagree with you. For a few reasons:

LulzSec is in the top news on Google. They've generated an insane amount of interest and have had governments and corporations chasing them. They have stolen Police Training manuals from Arizona. They've been able to breach corporations, security firms, and governments.

Anonymous just today leaked a government training manual for how to deal with Cyberterrorism.

The Internet is becoming an increasingly important piece of infrastructure and all of these disruptions do weaken companies and governments.

Yeah, it works now. Don't know what happened. Anyway, in spite of the naysayers, please stick around this forum and keep up us to date. There are many seasoned organizers on this forum, and they might be able to help you should you ever want to take your movement out of the internet and into the streets.

And now Sabu is beefing with team poison.

This kind of reminds me of Trosky's "The Bankruptcy of Individual Terrorism". In which he says individual terrorism is pointless because all it does is give the government more reason to disregard rights and privacy. Honestly lulzsec seems cool but they're just adding fuel to the fire of internet facism.

Hmmm, never read that but I might now. Either way this isn't individual terrorism, it's a group of 2,500 people that collaborate and take action.

An example of what Anonymous can accomplish occurred last year when we were able to get the head of HBGary to resign and revealed a plot put together by the Federal Gov't, Bank of America, and HBGary to intimidate and silence Wikileaks.

Plus a large part of Anonymous' work is in getting other people Anonymous fighting censorship, monitoring and being watched to fight internet terrorism.

We're kind of like a cyber citizen's militia. We train people in different skills, we teach them how to be anonymous, we use our resources against repressive regimes. Consider us a group of internet guerrillas that anyone can join.

But you're right, a large part of what needs to be done is to fight against internet censorship and restriction. Two organizations that are doing great work in that field are:

The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Demand Progress, both are working at lobbying, fighting, and raising awareness of intrusions on digital civil rights.

I hear this and respect the position stated for it's limited purpose. I'd only like to suggest that the next time Anon wants to form a different branch under a new name for a specific purpose, that they choose a better name than lulzsec. Not only is the name asinine, but it garners only snide dismissal from most people. Just my thoughts.

Good. 'Lulzsec' can get to fuck.

EDIT: and indeed anyone who is brainless enough to support those fucking 'Anonymous' charlatans

[black magick hustla]

i like more anonymous than trotskyists

[Os Cangaceiros]

they released this (http://informant.kalwnews.org/2011/06/lulzsec-releases-law-enforcement-intelligence-reports-on-u-s-anarchists/), which did indeed provide many "lulz"

Aww. That's cute. How's Trotskyism working out for you guys, you guys sell a lot of newspapers today? :laugh:

Come on Sam, keep you toys in your pram and have a debate instead. Perhaps start by justifying your charlatans accusation.

Their support of Orlando Food not Bombs is much appreciated by FNBers.

We got the smell of meat, but none of the meat. I also am getting used and annoyed at the backpatting of Anonymous whenever one of their operations fall apart while claiming a great victory with only a minute fraction of their intents done, nothing long lasting out of it, etc. Successes will be appreciated, but a realistic evaluation of those would be great, instead of the frequent overblown claims resulting from lightly scratching things.

The inherent failure of anonymous - it combines the worst of trotskyite vanguardism and hacktivism.

If that is what you say to make yourself better and make it seem like your achieving anything at all, then you are fucking delusional.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the hacks and disruptions, but who is it a nuisance to? Not the Capitalist owners of these governments, corporations and whatever else has been attacked. You hit them, but it won't do anything to them, as they will just push their security experts harder and hire more to protect their VIRTUAL (Again, I stress VIRTUAL because that is what it is, all virtual. Nothing real.) domains. I could see how this might be effective, but the message is not getting across to the masses, which must be the most important thing when doing these attacks.

Once again. Virtual = Real. There is no separation between what occurs on the internet and what occurs in real life. Corporations and governments are increasingly relying on the internet to transfer data, make plans, communicate, store resources etc. It's not delusional, and we're constantly growing. LulzSec has done an insane amount of work bringing light to Hacktivism, and more people are joining daily.

We're unveiling Government plots with security firms and banks, we're finding training manuals. We've done more online than most political party's have accomplished in the last few years. Will they hire new people? Yes, and we'll find new exploits. Hacking is much easier than trying to come up with a way to prevent it, because all we have to do is find one exploit and use that.

If you seriously think rallies and protests are effective, than you're the one that's delusional friend. Remember that time when the Capitalists were seriously weakened by a G20 protest? Oh that's right it's never happened, and it won't happen for a while.

So why don't we do productive things and attack them in an area where they are particularly vulnerable?

[Decolonize The Left]

I don't really see the point in harping on an organization that is (at least in some sense) destabilizing governmental operations. We don't have to be all gung-ho about it but we also don't need to poop on their parade.

Everyone likes parades.

I loved the Anon attack on the german nazis. I think now would be a great time to launch attacks against far right sites.
