After hacking Sony, Nintendo, some US broadcasters and NHS databases, the increasingly notorious Lulz security have ran out of idea of companies to hack. But not to worry, fans of the group can now call up a telephone hotline and choose a potential target. Isn't it nice to see some fan interaction?
Apparently several denial of service attacks have been launched at various websites as a result of the hotline, though Lulz are yet to clarify which exact sites were chosen. Though it is rumoured online games were a fan favourite with The Escapist, Eve Online, and Minecraft all being attacked yesterday as well as Bethesda’s internal data being stolen.
The hacker group Lulz Security has opened a telephone request line so its fans can suggest potential targets. The phone number was posted on the group's Twitter account yesterday as part of a nautically themed mass hacking session they called Titanic Takeover Tuesday. It's not clear what the intentions or motives of Lulz are or who they will hit next but they're certainly kicking up a fuss which is giving Anonymous a run for their money. But are Lulz a new breed of 'hactivists' working on behalf of the people, or are they just taking out who they can when they can for pure fun? Only time will tell.
Oh and by the way, we aren’t encouraging cyber crime here at Gaj-it, but what website would you pick?
