Sounds like yet another group of script kiddies that pops out every year

This is about it.
They:
1. Exploit routers
2. Hire other bot wrangers to hit shit off for them
As stupid as "Anonymous", and as clueless.
Press picks it up because it garners clicks/views/ad revenue/sells papers.
really hope it doesn't go down.
Haha last Christmas my cousin couldn't play his xbox or whatever because of some attack. Vidya is for faggots
Let them do it.
Console gaming is for 12 year olds anyways.
Build a computer, noobs

They should be fucking dealing with CISA
>tfw only play single player games and don't have to worry about this shit
Online gaming is for plebians anyways.
>When asked why the group was attacking these servers, they responded with "because cybersecurity does not exist."
Well that's a complete non sequitur if I've ever seen one.

This.
The internet's collective 'oh well' pisses me off
>>10441
Isn't this sort of like saying:
>"Why are you shoplifting?"
>"Because loss prevention doesn't exist."
Sort of stupid.
If the lizard squad has time to take down servers, what time do they have to prepare for physical combat?

>yeah cause fucking with isis and major american companies is soooo easy
But they aren't doing any of that. They really are skiddies. They're so bad now, that they can barely work LOIC anymore, which is amazing considering the fact that it is one of the most skiddie tier programs around.
>so all the people that cant play games online are just a myth?
No, but none of the attacks that they do are that impressive, nor do they really achieve anything.
>fuck you are dense child
What about you actually learn about the methods that they use, and that anyone who has a group of (easily impressionable) pre-teens can pull this shit off.
