Lulz Security, Bon Voyage



"We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us." - Stated in 50 Days of Lulz letter.


Looks like our friends Lulz Security are done sailing the seas themselves but look to influence others to create fleets or armadas of their own. The quote above was taken from their 50 Days of Lulz letter stating their good byes and the idea of who they are and what they planned to do. Anyone whose a gamer and various companies and victims now know Lulz Security. They may of lasted only 50 days, but within those 50 days, they managed to touch and influence millions through a twitter feed and just six hackers influencing the world to help them in their campaign. Their impact proves how much a small group of people can accomplish in such a short period. While people from the outside see them as rambunctious hackers hacking companies for no reason, we know what they truly were trying to do. In their short existence they were seeking to expose companies and show society their weaknesses. We know they weren't just a bunch of hackers, they used their striking force called their followers by DDoS'ing several sites just to show they could. Lulz Sec will be remembered for at least the next month and spoken of. The question is from on out, were people influenced and will follow in their footsteps? Or are their 50 Days of Lulz going to disintegrate away?
