LulzSec under attack from hackers, law enforcement

Hacking group Lulz Security has found itself coming under attack from all angles, drawing unwanted attention from both law enforcement and other hackers groups. Though the group's antics have won it many fans who appreciate LulzSec's anti-establishment leanings, they've also earned plenty of enemies, and those enemies have started to fight back. So far, they've posted LulzSec's "dox"—the names, pictures, and addresses of the people claimed to be the ringleaders of the group.

Since LulzSec first gained prominence, pro-US hacker th3j35t3r ("The Jester") has worked to uncover their identities and embarrass them. th3j35t3r, who has made a name for himself by knocking pro-jihad Web sites offline, has butted heads with Anonymous in the past, opposing the faceless collective's support for WikiLeaks. He worked to disrupt the activities of the AnonOps faction—taking servers offline and revealing names of the participants. Since many of AnonOps' key players moving on to form LulzSec, th3j35t3r's focus has shifted accordingly.
