'Sony and Twitch' hacking crew Lizard Squad: 'We quit' The Lizard Squad hacking crew appears to have called it quits over the weekend following high profile assaults on Sony as well as online attacks on Blizzard and Twitch, a broadcast platform for gamers, among others. The eight-strong group of trickster hackers posted a notice of their intention to throw in the towel on their …
Problem is, they seem to very good at what they do, very coordinated, cocky (arrogant?) and had fun doing it. Those attributes generally lead people to doing a crime as such again and again, "If I didn't get caught the first time.....".Even if they disband, they will be integrated into another group which will most likely get caught.
Best thing to do, use their truly gifted skills to earn money, make a better living, improve their skills and then, only then, maybe after they retire, they can brag about it then.
Actually didn't they say that they couldn't get to Microsoft and gave them a mention on there twitter about it being too resilient. It is ok to be a fanboy though stop trying to spread false info?

Neither PSN or XBL were fully taken down, but they did cause grief to many players. PSN had already a scheduled maintenance downtime, so they just pushed the downtime window early. On XBL I do remember seeing the warnings showing that you might have trouble connecting to XBL, though some other services were OK.
"we are just a bunch of guys with too much free time"
Yes then in the same statement at the end they say:
"we have lives believe it or not, things to do, people to meet."
So what is it, you have too much time or not enough time? Such bullshit, they got scared simple as that, they were not good enough to evade the law and obviously one of their mates has been caught.
Their balls are quite tiny.
These morons need to take a bit of their copious free time to check the definition of anarchy.
It is not destroying everyone else's toys. Anarchy is a system where no law is needed because everyone does what is needed when it is needed without having to be prodded into doing it by law.
But, given their actions, it is obvious that the notion of true anarchy is something well above their level of intelligence.
"These morons need to take a bit of their copious free time to check the definition of anarchy....." It's probably because they are attracted to the wanton violence and inevitable failure that is the result of any form of anarchist political mechanisms.
"....It is not destroying everyone else's toys. Anarchy is a system where no law is needed because everyone does what is needed when it is needed without having to be prodded into doing it by law....." Apart from the fact that historical Anarchists have actually proved very adept at destroying the toys of those they envy (and murdering them), as shown in the Spanish Civil War and Russian Revolution, the farcical idea that all human beings will automatically agree and want to all act the same without some firm of control or indoctrination is to completely ignore the realities of human nature.
