SOCA website scalp claimed by LulzSec in apparent DDoS attack !!!!!

[INDRANIL]

The Raga continues for Lulzsec . The latest news is SOCA, the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency, appears to have become the latest casualty of the LulzSec hacking group as its website was sporadically inaccessible today.

In an echo of the announcement LulzSec made about its attack on the CIA's website, a message on Twitter announced the news of the denial-of-service attack in simple terms:

Tango down - soca.gov.uk - in the name of #AntiSec

a denial-of-service attack is a bit like "15 fat men trying to get through a revolving door at the same time". A website becomes so flooded with unwanted traffic that genuine visitors to the site find it difficult, or impossible, to get through.

LulzSec's anarchic activities are a thorn in the side of the computer crime authorities, and the irony of SOCA (whose staff investigate cybercrimes in the UK) being knocked out by an attack from the hacking gang will not be lost on anyone.

The question that everyone wants answered, of course, is "Who are the people behind LulzSec, and when will they be brought to justice?"

I would imagine that if they keep "playing with fire" they will eventually "get burned".

They have anti burn ointment .

Actually I hope the suckers get caught! I don't like what they are doing. I just wish they would use all that talent for doing good, instead of creating havoc.

[INDRANIL]

Hmm agree with you I don't think they have any sort of ethics.

[Bearcat]

No, I don't think they have any ethics either and its just too bad, because they obviously have lots of talent.

I think this group believe they are the Cyber version of Robin hood and his merry band of men, who are they to decide what the people want, in some ways i admire them in others how do they know they are not the cause of even more serious social damage.
