Hacking Supergroup Prompts At Comeback

Is Lulzsec making a comeback? On early Wednesday, the infamous hacking group responsible for hacking the CIA, Homeland Security, the Brazilian government and PBS among others, posted this mysterious tweet:
"@LulzSec The Lulz Boat is on holiday across mysterious shores, but we have a lovely surprise for you in the future. But first, follow @pastebin!"
Pastebin is the online web app that they often used to their public declarations. One of their followers promptly reported that following the tweet, Pastebin gained 40 extra followers every 3 seconds. But forget that, I wonder what the hell kind of surprise they're cracking up? This is a new level of security threat. These guys are nuts!
At 8:36am - "If @pastebin reaches 75,000 followers we'll engage in a mystery operation that will cause mayhem."

Hacking Supergroup Claims to be "Finished"

Around the world governments and bigwig corporations can breathe a huge sigh of relief as hacking supergroup LulzSec posted on Saturday what they claim will be “their final release.” In this raw, unfiltered statement entitled "50 days of Lulz", they admit to "disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could". Along with the tweet, you can even download the hoard of files they retrieved over the past 50 days! Just to show how outlandish and radical this group is, check out this insane tweet they posted right before their statement. Absolutely nuts.
"@LulzSec Let it be known in an entirely sexual way that we love each and every one of you, even the trolls. 10 minutes or so. #LulzSec"
This new frontier of cyber-security and cyber-warfare has the potential to be the next big issue. Let’s think about this, if they able to cripple the networks of the CIA, PBS, the Brazilian government and Sony, then they no doubt will be able to get any piece of information about you. So are they cyber-terrorists? What do you think?
