LulzSec "put" several well-known game servers

A group of jokers from IT, who call themselves LulzSec, continue to catch lulz attacking the servers of companies, large and small. Only yesterday on Habré was published the news that this group claimed responsibility for hacking into the servers of the US Senate and Bethesda Softworks, as it became known today about other LulzSec attacks. This time suffered the game servers EVE Online, Minecraft, League of Legends plus the server Escapist Magazine. LulzSec "put" the server, using a reliable, as scrap, method against which it is quite difficult to defend oneself - DDoS. This, of course, is not hacking, but it is also very unpleasant, especially for companies of this level. But the lulz didn't end there.

The group, declaring an attack on Twitter, decided to use its own popularity by opening a “hotline for calls”, where anyone can leave an anonymous order for the next target. After analyzing all orders, LulzSec will select the next object to attack. This is similar to the uniform mockery of this team over all who keep calm on the web. In general, this command repeats and continues the work of Anonymous, going much further than anonymous.

But, unlike Anonymous, LulzSec does not seek to punish anyone, they do not want to revenge on anyone. All that they do, they do for the sake of those very lulz, as if for your own entertainment. Not so long ago, by the way, Anonymous and LulzSec "put" the site of the Turkish government. This incident led to the arrest of 32 suspects by the Turkish authorities.

So far, the group has not announced any further plans, but one can think that the “Lulz” will not end there. I wonder if the law enforcers (no matter which country) will be able to find the top of the group and stop LulzSec activities, or will the actions of the authorities be limited to loud statements about exposure, as in the case of Anonymous?

By the way, this week (or the entire month) would do well to call “LulzSec week on Habré”
