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."

Google+ May Be Close to 10 Million Users

You must have heard about the new social media platform released by the good folks at Google called Google+. According social media superblogger Mashable, a new report estimates the current number of users at 10 million, making it one of the fastest growing social media platforms of all time. This new report uses US census data and matches it with surnames of current account holder to calculate a number. Have you tried it out yet? We have and many people have compared it to arriving to a party early, so its roomy and comfortable and casual, not crowded and noisy. That's the exact impression we've got and we don't mind that. Its also Google and in true fashion, they've carried over a simplistic design, super fast photo loading times, like really super fast. It might have taken Google a while but we think this might be it.

China Wants A Piece of Facebook

Suprise, surprise; China just wants a piece of everything. On Tuesday Forbes blogger, Gordon Chang reported that Beijing approached an investment fund with particular interest in accumulating a 'formidable' stake in the company. But experts have expressed the little need for concern because the proposed $1 billion dollar investment would not be significant. On the political side of the fence, people need not worry about China's access to Facebook profile as shareholders do not have access and Beijing would purchase non-voting shares, which would make their opinions null and void. Well that doesn't seem so bad. I think Mark Z should hold on tight to all his stock for a couple years, then go public and reap the rewards; without compromising the originality and integrity of the brand. What do you think? We all have Facebook accounts.

Hacking Frenzy

These cybercriminals are silent but so deadly. What makes it even worse is that they can make themselves almost untraceable and we are left somewhat at their mercy because they know our technology better than we do. So according to CNN, the word on the stweet is that a hacking group called the 'Script Kiddies' claimed responsibility for hacking Fox News' twitter account and announcing that President Obama had been assassinated while campaigning in Iowa on  early Monday. The tweets then went on to say:

"We wish @joebiden the best of luck as our new President of the United States. In such a time of madness, there's light at the end of tunnel." 

Its not surprising since they know the inner workings, the flaws and the strong suits, they also know typical consumer behavior, which is a deadly combo. After the hacking frenzy seemed to stop Fox news posted a short tweet saying. 

"Just regained full access to our Twitter and email. Happy 4th."

Things are going to get even worse as our lives become more technology oriented then we can hypothesize what comes next: our bank accounts? Anyone looking for a career or a career change? I'm sure cyber security is big business right now. 

A New Look Inside Technology Powerhouses

Wouldn't the chance to be a fly on the wall just for a day, hour, minute or a second for the biggest tech firms around be awesome? Well we didn't come up with a way you could, but maybe we can bring you a step closer. Can you dig this hilarious sketch up of what is thought to be the organizational structure of the biggest tech firms like Apple, Microsoft, Google and so on? The concept is pretty cool but I guess knowing a bit of history behind these companies will help you understand better. But you can mostly figure it out; Amazon is apparently the least radical and Microsoft has guns? Hmm, thanks @shanselman.  

Revolutionary Camera Hitting the Stweet

Twitter was ablaze with buzz about a new revolutionary camera being developed by California startup Lytro. CNN Money reports that what sets this camera apart from the current big brands like Canon and Nikon, is their technology that allows you to focus your picture after you capture your shot. Pretty crafty eh? Yep. 

All day Sunday this topic was trending under the hashtag #tech. The breakthrough technology reportedly collects more data than the average camera and involves more complex editing features on the camera! So that means no more Photoshop. Sounds like Adobe better watch out as well. They eventually plan to put a patent on the after-capture focus technology. No word yet on a release date or how many cameras will go into production. Sounds advanced. Does this sound like something you would buy into the future?

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?
