Bon Voyage LulzSec

Remember when Sony network went down and 1,000,000 users passwords and credit card numbers were compromised?? Since there was more or less a media blackout on most of it, I’ll bet you didn’t hear much about who did it. LulzSec. They called their hacking spree the 50days of Lulz, they released millions of dollars worth of codes and users personal data for public download and exposing major corporate web-holes via twitter.  At one point even taking requests on who to hack next. In addition to Sonwage LulzSec was responsible for the network breeches and shutdowns of: The CIA, The Detroit FBI, PBS, FOX News, AZ DPS, World of WarCraft, Bethesda Game Studios, Pron.com, Citigroup, and who knows what else they aren’t claiming… Ahh LulzSec. Yesterday marks the end of the 50 days of Lulz cruse.  After the arrest of 19yo Ryan Cleary, LulzSec announced via their official twitter they are finished.  Cleary was arrested in his home Wickford, Essex.

Greetings folks. We're LulzSec, and welcome to Sownage. Enclosed you will
find various collections of data stolen from internal Sony networks and websites,
all of which we accessed easily and without the need for outside support or money.

We recently broke into SonyPictures.com and compromised over 1,000,000 users'
personal information, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses,
dates of birth, and all Sony opt-in data associated with their accounts.
Among other things, we also compromised all admin details of Sony Pictures
(including passwords) along with 75,000 "music codes" and 3.5 million "music coupons".

The Daily Show got some Lulz out of this.

Final Statement • “Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind – we hope – inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.”
“Lulz Security – our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011″

Their Mayhem – Releases on their official website Lulzsecurity.com

New York Legalized Gay Marriage!

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the state’s marriage equality bill hours after it passed, making it the 6th state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage. The bill cleared the way to legalize same-sex marriage with a 33-to-29 vote, the first time a state legislature with a Republican majority has approved such a bill. 30 Long days still left until Gays can get hitched in The Big Apple.

The Marriage equality bill was signed 42 years after The Stonewall Riots.
