I am sick to my ass of all this hacking bullshit on game companies!!!!!!

"What are they trying to prove?"

Simple. They're trying to prove that they can actually *do* it. That's what "hacking" is all about.

I don't think it's such a bad thing if they farmed your email address and/or birthday, etc.. the fact that these guys are all being attacked proves their security is deficient. So, like Sony, Codemasters will now tighten their security to prevent such a thing from happening again. That's gotta be good for everyone, right? (at least in the long run)

At least CM actually hashed your passwords and didn't store them as plain text.. (thanks again Sony). Seeing as probably 60% of people use the same damn password for everything..

I use very long and complex passwords for any site where security of my account is a concern. Everything else, well, I can always recover or reset my password.

Same here. All of the passwords I used are completely unique and totally different from each other. It's absolutely shocking (or is it?) to see a lot of people using the same weak password for everything. People just don't listen.

OK, so these hackers have made it more than apparent that the security needs to be fixed and tightened --- if that was their real objective. However, aren't they venturing into a completely different area when they start saying things such "say your prayers, Brink users"? That's a threat. How's that proving that security needs to be improved upon?

It's called "arrogance". They 'know' that they can do this, and think it hilarious that they can threaten those who they're going to hack soon. It's nothing more than sheer bravado. While I understand - to an extent - that they hack to prove that there are security flaws, I have no patience for people being mouthy little idiots like that.

"Ooooh, look at me, I have the ability to figure out a security protocol. Now to piss off absolutely everyone I can. Because I CAN!"

Shitheads.

Looks like Minecraft, League of Legends, and EVE Online have been hit.

Apparently, some people are actually enjoying what lulzsec is doing. Yeah, it's all for teh lulz until they start screwing around with something you use. The crap I read on their twitter page is pathetic and sad.

This garbage has to end. Where are all the white hat hackers at?

It makes me think of hen pecking, or feather pecking as it is called here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feather_pecking

I know it's bad and everything, but I want to see where this will all lead and how far it will go before the hackers are caught. They certainly keep busy, that much is certain. It kind of reminds me of Anonymous, only a tad more random, if that's even possible.

Possibly. I don't really want to see where this all will lead. I have a fairly shrewd suspicion. Specifically: They'll probably get caught in the end, sued for everything they had, have, and will have, following which everyone will pretty much forget about it. This sort of bullshit isn't even proving anything. They're just screwing about and squealing for attention like pigs to the bloody slaughter. As far as I'm concerned, these useless little twits need to get their heads examined. The examination will undoubtedly reveal that euthanasia is the kindest thing to do to them, as they cannot possibly function like normal human beings.

Whoa. I'm harsh today.

Sensible though. Damn I'm awesome.

Lutzsec took down The Escapist for awhile on Tuesday because they said bad things about them.

This is just getting childish, when originally it was just pointless.

[garrendesares]

i find it funny how we know who attacked the world trade centers and found osama bin laden yet we cant even find who these hackers are. thats really freaking sad if you ask me! but no one did and idc all i care about is watching the show. whats funny is the internet tracks everything you do no matter what (as far as i know), and cell phones ect. not to mention a freaking facebook page. hey as long as they dont steal what i dont have fine by me!

[Aeolus Aeneas]

It took 10 years, 2 pointless wars and the US sinking into massive debt to find Osama.

I'm pretty sure we'll find some of these hackers for far less. It just takes time, like all things.

[Aeolus Aeneas]

Nonsense; once companies get messed with, they pull the leashes of their bought politicians who then command their peons to FIND THESE TERRORISTS so they can get more campaign contributions.

[lordrand11]

Yeah what is this group out for other than supposed "Glory" if they want that they need to find a hole.
