It was about time they were exposed, though, they have highlighted the importance of internet security, and perhaps now big companies will employ new tactics to keep users safe

S.O.C.A, is their first target, **** knows why, these are the guys who help prevent terrorism, but I guess Lulzsec just follow the misconception that they are the UK FBI...
The UK Serious Organised Crime agency has taken its website offline after it appeared to be a victim of an attack by hacking group Lulz Security.
Soca said it had taken its website offline to limit the impact attack on clients hosted by its service provider.
Soca.gov.uk had been unavailable for much of Monday afternoon, with an intermittent service restored later.
Lulz Security has said it was behind the denial of service attack which had taken the website offline.
Earlier on Monday, as the agency launched an investigation, LulzSec tweeted: "Tango down - in the name of #AntiSec".
The group has hit a number of high-profile websites in recent weeks, including the CIA and US Senate.
Soca appeared to be the victim of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, where large numbers of computers, under malicious control, overload their target with web requests.
In a statement given to BBC News, a Soca spokesman said: "Soca has chosen to take its website offline to limit the impact of DDOS attack on other clients hosted by our service provider.
"The Soca website is a source of information for the general public which is hosted by an external provider. It is not linked to our operational material or the data we hold."
Embarrassment
Earlier on Monday, a LulzSec Twitter posting seemed to confirm the nature of the attack.
"DDoS is of course our least powerful and most abundant ammunition. Government hacking is taking place right now behind the scenes," it said.
The latest attack will come as an embarrassment for Soca, which is tasked with investigating cybercrime.
"It is not going to please the boys in blue one bit," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at security firm Sophos.

Lulz Security attacks
May 7: US X Factor contestant database

Mr Cluley added that it was wrong to confuse DDoS with the kind of hacking that can lead to confidential information being stolen.
However, he warned that LulzSec was capable of both types of attack.
"They have in the past broken into websites and stolen e-mail addresses and passwords, so there is a lot of harm can be done."
Big Lulz
When Lulz Security first appeared in May, the group portrayed itself as a light-hearted organisation, bent on creating online fun and Lulz (laughs).
Soon after, details of its hacking exploits began to emerge.
The first involved stealing and publishing a database of US X-Factor contestants, including their e-mail addresses and phone numbers.
It followed up with a mixture of website denial of service attacks and intrusions where data was taken and made available on the internet.
On June 19, LulzSec declared that it would begin targeting government systems, calling the campaign Antisec.
"Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including e-mail spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments," said a post on the group's website.
The reason for LulzSec's greater focus on government is unclear, although it appears to have recently ended a feud with the more politically-motivated group Anonymous.

A 19-year-old suspected of being a mastermind behind notorious international computer hacking group LulzSec has been arrested in Essex, after a joint operation by the FBI and Scotland Yard.
It comes just days after the group claimed it brought down the US Central Intelligence Agency's website.
The alleged hack on CIA.gov occurred on the same day the group opened a telephone request line so its fans could suggest potential targets.
On Twitter, the group wrote: "Tango down - CIA.gov - for the lulz".

Official Press Release
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) have arrested a 19-year-old man in a pre-planned intelligence-led operation.
The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act, and Fraud Act offences and was taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains in custody for questioning.
Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing.
The PCeU was assisted by officers from Essex Police and have been working in co-operation with the FBI.

Lulzsec: tl;dr they leaked logs, we owned them, one of them literally started crying for mercy, we saw it fit to pastebin their home addresses.

"Ryan, described as a loner who ‘lives his life online’, faces the prospect of extradition to the U.S. where he could face 60 years behind bars for allegedly hacking into the CIA and Senate websites."
Yeah that seems fair, serial killers get less :rolleyes:
Yeah the sentences for things like this are ridiculous, it's like that case a couple of years ago with that guy who hacked into some US military computers, didnt really do anything and could face 70 years in jail, it's a joke

Apparently according to police sources, he was in the middle of hacking a UK website when the raid happened. Also he only faces 10 years in the UK, though it's likely he'll be extradited to the US to face a much longer sentence.

A couple of things realy disturb me about this case. Firstly, it looks like some people (I don't just mean people on here) are not grasping what a serious crime this is. Hackers put everyone's security at risk. The Internet is in its infancy, and if we don't crack down on hackers right now and make an example of those who are caught, who knows what will happen in the future. Secondly, how come the minute one of these people are caught, there's their Mummy leaping to their defence with the same old chestnuts "he's got special needs" and "he spends a long time in his room I didn't know what he does in there". If your kid's really got special needs, surely you'd take some interest in what he's up to online, wouldn't you? If it does turn out he has special needs (as was claimed with Gary McKinnon, the last idiot hacker the USA wanted to extradite) then their parents should be prosecuted in their place.

I agree ^ people don't really realise exactly what these people are doing. For example, Lulzsec and Anon have started 'Operation AntiSec' - basically, they want to hack government websites and publish everything they find. Then there's the bit where they want to publish OUR information on a website, for all sorts of dodgy sorts to use 'for "Lulz'"
I think people are aware what hacking is, and it can compromise peoples security but to suggest that 60 years would be an appropiate sentence is ridiculous. For what it's worth a lot worse could have been done judging by how easy these websites were to infilitrate. I read an article pointing out that we should in some ways be grateful to them for publicly exposing how inadequete the security is on a lot of sites.
The ease with which they have done it probably means it's been done before, or that it could have been done and noone would know about it, and that's more worrying if you ask me.
I think its absurd to suggest his parents be prosecuted in his place tbh, his crime, his consequences wether he has learning difficulties or not.

He is 19
and his parents never entered his Criminal Den
His loyal mum banged on his door
and would tell him dinner is there
left outside his door.
His is 100% Guilty
he knew he was doing wrong.

Gary is nothing like this
he has a mental problem and because he could not enter
the USA - UFO Gov site
he wrecked all others in his way.

What I think is absurd is that there's this kid, who's parents know he has special needs, he is in their house, they presumably pay for his broadband, and yet they have no idea what their son is up to on the Internet. If he is not mentally capable of being extradited and standing trial for his wrongdoings as they are suggesting, then his parents surely must take some responsibility.

No because they never entered his room.

What do you expect them to do, stand behind them and watch him whenever he's on the internet. Like arista said he's 19, and doesn't have severe special needs, you can't blame his parents for constantly monitoring his online activity 24/7. I'd say very few parents know what they're children are up to on the internet anyway.
