Anonymous, LulzSec vow to hack on

[Student26]

Looks like more hacktivism is on the way:

In a defiant statement addressed largely at FBI director Steve Chabinsky, members of the Anonymous and LulzSec hacktivist groups vowed to continue with their hacking campaigns and dared law enforcement to try and stop them.

The statement comes just two days after the FBI arrested 14 alleged members of Anonymous in connection with a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against PayPal last year.

Over the last week, both groups have claimed credit for breaking into Rupert Murdoch's media sites. In one attack LulzSec compromised DNS servers at News International so that visitors to the group's Sun tabloid site were redirected to a fake story proclaiming Murdoch's death.

The attacks have been mostly designed to embarrass and to provoke rather than to create any real damage. In most instances, the groups have cited some political or social cause for their attacks.

Kind of figured this would their reaction to the FBI arrests. I guess we will have to wait and see where they strike next. Just wish they would put their talent to more productive use.
