Lulzsec merge

gavmcg92

I couldn't believe my eyes this morning when I woke up. The new hackers on the scene, Lulzsec, had released 62,000 people's emails and the subsequent passwords. I checked to see if any of my families accounts had been breached but luckily they were no where to be seen on the list.

What are your ideas on this group. Do you think they are doing the world a favor and showing that the internet is not a place where you should feel completely safe, or do you think that they are pure criminals.

I feel like I'm taking a position on the fence here. I am a great supporter of the hacktivist group, Anonymous, and all that they do. However I feel that this splinter group has no moral substance and are purely feeding their ego.

When do you cross the line? Is what they are doing good for online security? Is there more of a meaning behind their attacks, rather than being "just for the lulz!"?

I have been following their twitter feed almost religiously, in awe, of some of the things that they have done so far.

Personally I have little time for this group but I would love to get your opinions.

Please stop asking for a download link to the list. The information on that list is highly sensitive. I highly doubt that Boards.ie or the users mentioned on the list would like this information to be shared

Link to help others????

To all the emails? Ehh not sure that's a good idea!
The download is on their twitter but as you would know, I do not want to have any responsibility for someone losing personal info. It's all there on their twitter. I recommend that you check for your own.
I'll link their twitter and an article about how they brought down the CIA's website.

Thats the list of the emails got to it through
http://news.softpedia.com/news/LulzSec-Leaks-Over-26K-New-Emails-and-Passwords-205548.shtml

seems they hacked a porn website and released the emails so people could know if their friends were using using porn and make fun of them.

this one says there are 26000 so not sure might be different to what OP is talking about as he said 62000

edit: i see there is another one, thanks fingers

Why the hell would you or any of your family been on the list!?

Read their homepage, the lulz boat wtf:

IvySlayer

Well I'm OK since I'm not a former ISS or CIA executive

Facebook managed to defeat these guys by locking emails but the CIA were unable to prevent them?

Vicxas

Someone used 11111 as a password, they deserve to be hacked.

No this is old list. They have released a new list of 62,000.

I have seen the list and I recommend all you guys look at it too. ALOT of Irish email addresses in it.

drunkmonkey

They've even got a phone number if you want to request a DOS attack on any website form the comfort of your own home.

"Call into 614-LULZSEC and pick a target and we'll obliterate it. Nobody wants to mess with The Lulz Cannon -- take aim for us, twitter. #FIRE." I called the number today. There's something there. I didn't leave a take-down request.The group claims to have received overwhelming response to the hotline, tweeting: "5000 missed calls and 2500 voicemails from today. The Lulz Boat must sail off and organize itself." Later: "Now accepting calls from true lulz fans -- let's all laugh together at butthurt gamers. 614-LULZSEC, accepting as many as we can, let's roll."

I like havnig these guys around. Sure, they may do some pretty bad **** in their time, but maybe they'll unearth things during their travels that are completely worth it all : /

Blazer

bunch of wánkers in my opinion..
Fair enough highlighting a security issue...but publishing the names+passwords and telling people to post what those people were doing on their facebook sites?
That's bull...I'd like to see them deal with the fallout if they discovered one of their parents on the list..

Elmidena

It was only after following the link I saw they got to Bethesda as well, those guys did NOT deserve it *rarghghghg*

Is it safe to download that list of emails?

Well they say on their twitter that 3,400 people have already downloaded it and counting. If you want you can send me your email and I will check the list.

Yes, it is only a .txt file.

If you don't want to download it, PM me any email you want checked and I'll check it for you.

I'm not talking about the pron.com one. lol

62,000 random emails. There is a high chance that someone here could have their email on it.

gavmcg92

emails are kinda jumbled up so for those of you who are not too computer savvy...

There is an option in you texteditor that allows you to "Find" something. Just click on that and type in your password.

gavmcg92

Here is just one thing that those who are on the list can expect.

Its just crazy what some people use as a password, a lot of people use password as their password. I was wondering if my password which consists of upper and lower case letters and numbers and symbols was easily hacked.

There are too different releases. The 62,000 emails are just random I think. But the 26,000 that were the pron.com ones.

I just thought that I would give you an update. I have emailed Eircom about their compromised accounts. They seemed oblivious about it.

While yes its only a .txt file, would it be illegal to download this content, seen as how it was gotten (more than likely) illegally??

FouxDaFaFa

Not on it, thankfully. I don't mind them breaching websites to show weaknesses but when you start releasing details belonging to the general public it crosses a line.

Agreed. They got 200,000 names and passwords for the game Brink but said that they weren't going to release it because they like the game :P

No, once it's in the public domain it's fair game for all.

That is somewhat true. However I think that the download is now at over 50,000 so you are more than likely safe from prosecution.

Korvanica

yea that's a bit bent... i'm not there thank god...

Cool, thanks lads. I just wanted to make sure.

Am I right in saying that, its not illegal to download, but it is to use the information to access accounts which are not yours?

I'm no lawyer but I think that that is a fair assessment. Stealing is stealing no matter who gave you the card and the PIN for example.

HAHA, there's already tweets about Facebook profiles getting taken over after that release, fools using the same email and password. I've no sympathy

I'll leave this here

wild_cat

I checked to see if my own info was on it. Wouldn't use it for anything malicious myself.


I also locked myself out of an email address I had since I was 9 about two years ago while drunk. Wanted to see if they had recovered the password for me....

Doesn't give them the right to do that regardless. This is disgusting behaviour from this group. I believe Anonymous are on their case.

Yeah it seems 4chan arn't to happy with them. I presume calling them script kiddies is an insult. My knowledge of SQL injections is very slim and I doubt you'd just be able to download someone elses code to break into the CIA.

It wouldn't surprize me if it was only a couple (1,2,3,4) of skilled people. Maybe even ex-Anonymous.

I can't find the link to the email addresses, but my messenger keeps telling me I've been logged in somewhere else.

Change your password ASAP!!

I think they accept that already. According to a source they are ex-Anon who feel that Anon are not going in the right direction.

most of the accounts are already locked out. Logged onto someones hotmail in Brazil. Seeing as I'm not the malicious type it's mostly boring.

:P I did the same this morning to check if they weren't bluffing. Got onto an individuals hotmail account from Spain. Was all in Spanish so I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
