In their latest "press release" they seem to be expecting to be caught eventually and they really don't care.  I wonder if they can really speak for the whole when they say that?  Hm.

That is a good point about them being open about their hacks, which normal people don't typically hear about.  My guess is in the underground the hacks are just as sensationalized, though I could be wrong.

The culture of Lulzsec saddens me because I feel it is a culture of people who have lots of potential that can't make proper use of it, and they need to express their frustration in a kind of cynical, fatalistic activism.  Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I believe anyone with the kind of dedication, expertise and innovation it takes to do these hacks can really make a good life using their talents legally (and morally for that matter).

***Disclaimers about how LulzSec is doing illegal things and they are bad people, etc., etc., etc.***

On one hand I do see it as a revolution. High profile attacks give us (white hat professionals) backing when we make claims that security is not just a cost center but a worthwhile and necessary investment.

On the other hand, average Joe's (including the media and Executives) don't understand these attacks. It's hard to find stories in mainstream outlets that explain the attacks adequately. If there is one thing that scares people, it is the unknown. These attacks take place in a realm that might as well be supernatural as far as an average person is concerned. This type of fear can lead to unnecessary and far reaching efforts to crack down on internet activity. And that is almost as scary as steady string of high-profile attacks.

IMHO of course.  

Maybe not j0rdy:

Twitter update: LulzSec The Lulz Boat
Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now... wait... we're all still here! Which poor b*stard did they take down?

I'm sure they'll be busting folks for a bit, yet.  Even if they get the leader, you KNOW others will chime in, to make it look like nothing happened, or to 'assume' a lead role.  Give the authorities some time.  They're not done busting, yet...

I don't really agree what they have done is right but I also wonder if any of there members read these forums?

Hacking is still hacking whatever word you will say it.  Its still not ethical and what they're doing is not that good.  Wish it was true that they're after Lulz for what they did.  Goodluck and keep us posted on their latest escapade.

Lulz is denying that he is the leader. They said the only way he was affiliated with them was that he hosted one of their public/legitimate IRC servers. Who knows what the real story is.

They're way to chatty not to get caught. They'll make a mistake at some point.
