LulzSec Hackers Hit Nintendo, FBI Affiliate Websites
It's been a busy couple of weeks for the hacking group known as LulzSec, aka the Lulz Boat.
On Friday, LulzSec said in a statement that its members had exploited the website of the Atlanta chapter of InfraGard. a private, non-profit organization that exists to serve as a public/private partnership with the FBI. LulzSec also posted 180 member usernames and passwords gleaned from the attack, and said it deleted all information stored on the website. As of press time, the website resolved to a page listing it as being "under construction."
LulzSec is the same outfit that recently defaced the PBS website, posting fake news. More recently, the group hacked into a Sony Pictures Entertainment website, exposing one million passwords.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, the group said on its Twitter feed that it had exploited the Nintendo website, but chose to only steal a configuration file. It also said that Nintendo had already fixed the vulnerability it exploited to gain access to the website.
On Monday, adding to its list of exploits, LulzSec released a compressed, 58-MB file, which it says contains the source code for the Sony Computer Entertainment Developer Network. It also promised to throw "more Sony booty overboard soon!" That apparently referred, at least for starters, to the "internal network maps of Sony BMG," which the group released shortly thereafter.
