    No clue what this one is about but I'm disappointed I wasn't the one to start this thread.

    Did they get hacked? I haven't been keeping up with the bodycount.

    Its like the first part of the Good Samaritan story. Gabe and Tycho pass by and avert their eyes. A little while later, another web personality (with an outsider reputation) will stop by and lend a hand to the broken and dying guy from Escapist.

    http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/06/titanic-takeover-tuesday-lulzsecs-busy-day-of-hacking-escapades.ars
    Lulz Security, the hacking group apparently motivated by nothing more than their desire to laugh at the mayhem they cause, has had a busy day in an event they called Titanic Takeover Tuesday. Taking a break from their dumps of user data and server break-ins, today saw the group perform a bunch of distributed denial of service attacks against a range of targets.

    First up—and still only intermittently available at the time of writing—was gaming magazine The Escapist, with no apparent reason for the attack. LulzSec boasted that taking down the site required just 0.4 percent of its DDoS capacity.

    Next in line were the login servers for the game EVE Online. The effect of this attack was to bring down the EVE Online website at the same time, though LulzSec insists that this was not the actual target. In response to the DDoS, CCP Games, makers of EVE, have taken all their systems offline, for fear that they might be hacked. The company has also issued a statement to assure customers that their personal information remains secure.

    The third target—and the only one for which the group has offered a rationale beyond "lulz"—is an IT security company named Finfisher. Their site was taken down, briefly, because "apparently they sell monitoring software to the government or some shit like that."

    Gamers were once more in the crosshairs with the fourth target; more login servers, this time for Minecraft. Just as with EVE Online, going after the login servers also took out the game's website.

    The pattern was repeated for the fifth target; login servers for the game League of Legends were knocked offline, a move which also brought down the game's website.

    The result of all this? Lot of enraged gamers complaining about the downtime, and hence, many lulz for Lulz Security. Going after gaming targets hasn't made the group universally popular; posters on 4chan's /b/ forum, who might normally be sympathetic to lulz-motivated shenanigans, attempted to hunt LulzSec down. LulzSec dismissed the "/b/tards" as "damn furries," saying that they were the cream of the /b/ crop from 2005, distancing themselves from the /b/tards of today.

    whenever someone says "they did it for the lulz" I want to stomp on their penis, over and over until blood comes out

    females are not exempt from this

    I believe they did the same to the FBI as well. It would be super awesome to see some dumb kids get arrested for this. It would scare the other lulsec webtards and maybe even some of the younger members of even more annoying groups like anon.

    As far as I understand it, a DDoS attack (something denial of service) is nothing more than internet traffic spamming somebody's service until it crashes because it can't handle all the traffic. So basically you just turn your internet star destroyer until it's facing somebody's login server and blast it with pings and requests and stuff until it goes down.

    I think the reason it works is because it's so simple.

    It's essentially a million people mashing 'refresh' on your server so that no one else can use it.

    Not a lot you can do about that, except having more robust servers. When popular website links to some small-time webpage; the resulting outage is essentially caused by an unintentional DDOS attack
