Lulz Security Raids Bethesda Softworks Servers and US Senate
Source: YouTube


Gizmodo Wrote:The scurvy dogs aboard the SS Lulz have raided Bethesda Softwork's servers after unsuccessfully trying to extort game info out of them. Ah well. They've also released a bunch of internal data from the US Senate's website for further giggling.

The Bethesda attack centered around FPS title Brink, from which LulzSec plundered over 200,000 user accounts. From there, they went straight at Bethesda:

    "After mapping their internal network and thoroughly pillaging all of
    their servers, wee grabbed all their source code and database passwords, which wee proceeded to shift silently back to our storage deck."

The server data's out in the open, but Lulz is keeping the Brink user info private for now.

All of this because they wanted more information about Skyrim. I mean, I guess it looks pretty good, but, uh.

And then there's the Senate leak. The "small hack" of Senate.gov—which appears to be a dump of the site's root directory—is basically just a mammoth list of file names, including such crazy gems as "The_Senate_Chamber_Desks.htm" and "yellow_warbler.jpg." Nothing that will compromise national security, but an embarrassment to the government's ability to safeguard itself, for sure. And no mention of how they got in to begin with.

But why the US Senate? They don't have any information on Skyrim, do they? LulzSec explains:

    "Wee don't like the US government very much. Their boats are weak, their lulz are low, and their sites aren't very secure. In an attempt to help them fix their issues, wee've decided to donate additional lulz in the form of owning them some more!"

Oh, well alright. It's going to be a late night for a couple of IT teams in the DC area.

Also, another hack by LulzSec recently:
Quote:26,000 sex website passwords exposed by LulzSec

The notorious LulzSec hacking group has published login passwords for almost 26,000 users of an x-rated hershey kisses website.

The hackers compromised the database of the hardcore website (called "hershey kisses"), exposing not only the email addresses and passwords of over 25,000 members but also the credentials of 55 administrators of other adult websites.

Furthermore, LulzSec drew particular attention to various government and military email addresses (.mil and .gov) that appeared to have accounts with the hershey kisses website.

That must be an embarrassing one to explain to the boss..

To add insult to injury, the LulzSec group called on its many recent Twitter followers to exploit the situation, by logging into Facebook with the email/password combinations and tell the victim's Facebook friends and family about their hershey kisses habit.
