LIGATT Security to Reveal LulzSec Names and Locations
Sometimes there is a strange convergence of elements in the daily news cycle that defies reason and challenges the depth of one's own imagination - this is one of them.
Gregory Evans, infamously known as the self-proclaimed "Worlds #1 Hacker" and CEO of the much-maligned LIGATT Security, claims to have successfully doxed the hacker collective known as LulzSec, and promises to publish the information sometime soon. LulzSec recently claimed responsibility for attacks against Sony and PBS, as well as for the hacking of networks belonging to the Atlanta chapter of FBI affiliate InfraGard. The group defaced the organization's website and exposed InfraGard's email database.
“I have gone into their IRC servers and I have located names and addresses of users. Since the attack on Infragard I have felt that these guys need to be stopped," LIGATT Security's Gregory Evans stated in a press release. LulzSec's defacement of the InfraGard site gave indications that the attack was in retaliation for the Obama administration's recent assertion that cyber-based attacks can be construed as an act of war in certain circumstances.
LulzSec claims to have also hacked Sony Pictures, Sony Entertainment, and Sony BMG last week, compromising the data for over one million customers as well as gaining access to admin passwords, music "codes" and "coupons". LulzSec also recently gained unauthorized access to the online networks belonging to Public Broadcasting System in protest of a Frontline documentary examining the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks and accused federal document leaker Bradley Manning.
