The Lulzsec group has struck again. This time they’ve taken a piece out of the US Senate.
From BBC:
US officials said they have ordered a security review after hackers managed to break into the Senate website at the weekend.
An official said the incident had been “inconvenient”, but had not compromised the security of the staff.
The confirmation came after Lulz Security, a loosely aligned group of hackers, said it had carried out the attack for fun and posted files online.
I have a simple question. Why poke the sleeping bear? It’s one thing to take on a couple of corporate entities but, the US Gov has a tried and true stubborn streak when it comes to tracking down people that have managed to piss them off.
Are they screwed? Could this be their one step beyond? Or will they just slip in the void of the Internet?
Thoughts?
