    The notorious hacker group issued a statement in which it announced the cessation of activity.
    In the farewell message, the group revealed that it consisted of six people, and the project was originally designed for 50 days of “swimming” - that’s how long Lulz Sec, also known as The Lulz Boat, lasted. . “The time has come to say: 'Good luck!' Now we are forced to sail away, ”the hackers said.

    What they did in 50 days.
    Successful DDoS attacks and site hacks
    • Fox channel
    • Sony divisions
    • FBI units
    • US Senate, CIA, and British Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) internal networks.

    These are only the most famous. The full list can be found here.

    In the notice of termination of activity, Lulz Sec explained that they disrupted the sites "most likely simply because they could do it."

    On June 23, hackers promised to steal and publish classified information from the websites of law enforcement agencies on a weekly basis. What made Lulz Sec abandon its plans is not specified. “Behind the amused grimace with rainbows and top hats, we are ordinary people,” the farewell message says.

    Honestly, something reminded me of the story of Kevin Mitnik. “Just because they could do it.”

    I won’t think why they did it, there are always reasons for everything. I will say one thing - they will talk and remember a lot about LulzSec, and I am almost sure that they will not be forgotten. All the same, the more daring and successful hackteam, it seems, has not yet been. Especially in 50 days.

    Or maybe they also leave just for lulz?
