Another Hacker Group Publishes Alleged LulzSec Member List
A hacker group called the A-Team published a document on Pastebin on Monday that claims to reveal the real identities of some of the members of LulzSec.
“So we’ve been tracking and infiltrating these kids since the Gawker hack,” the group said, in reference to LulzSec’s attack on the media site Gawker last year.
The A-Team said it traced the members back to the U.K., Sweden, the Netherlands, and the U.S. The release said that it followed the members of the group, and they were essentially formed from the hacking culture that is found throughout the imageboard site 4Chan. “It’s a culture built around the anonymity of the Internet,” the group said.
"The Internet by definition is not anonymous," the A-Team release said. "Computers have to have attribution. If you trace something back far enough you can find its origins."
The group notes that it is ultimately futile for LulzSec to just randomly hack into corporations.
“What’s funny to us is that these kids are all ‘Anti-Sec’ yet by releasing their hacks they are forcing these companies to have to hire security professionals which keeps the Security Industry that they are trying to expose and shut down, in business,” the posting said.
Discussions among members of the “hacktivist” group LulzSec were leaked by The Guardian on Monday, giving insight into the team behind attacks on a slew of government and business websites.
LulzSec, in a statement posted over the weekend, says they are ending their 50-day-long run and are disbanding. The group has claimed responsibility for hacks on the websites of PBS, the FBI, the Senate, the CIA, Sony, and many more.
{etRelated 58272}Logs from the group’s private chatroom shows how the user “Sabu” essentially directed the group and that one person monitors the group’s Twitter feed, and another user monitors the group’s botnet.
Several of the members have gone into “hiding” as of late and one member, who calls himself “topiary,” is updating the Twitter feed, which aligns with what was leaked on The Guardian.
