Well, LulzSec just released a statement – their final statement. For the past 50 days, LulzSec has been making a mockery and lullerskating all over the interweb security – among the fallen are; PBS, FBI Affiliates, Facebook, Twitter and PayPal. We’ve been tailing the Boat for a while now here at the GS headquarters, and I must say, I’ve been rofling since the very beginning.
I have always enjoyed the hacking scene. Busting through security with simple injections has always got me going. Whether it be hacking into websites, or simply backwards programing to crack software/games. For the past while The Lulz Boat has been heading full steam at your interwebs and terrorizing everyone in it’s wake. With their latest canons being fired at the Arizona Police Department in a campaign named ‘Chinga La Migra(Fuck the Border Patrol) it seemed the internets were forever doomed.
But that all changes tonight as LulzSec has announced their retirement…
If you’ve been following their LulzSec Twitter they’ve been giving us short little tweets about an upcoming surprise. With the top of the hour upon us we’ve found out that they are hanging up their swords and keyboards and calling it quits. The crew of 6 has decided to sail into the horizon and not fight another day.
I hope all of you have either enjoyed or hated what they have done for the antisec movement, some things might be agreed with, some things may not – but they have made many of us laugh, and that is really what it’s all about. Whether it was buying inappropriate toys on an old ladies Amazon account, or posting fake nude pics of a male member on the Facebook profile of a jealous girlfriend’s boyfriend – we’ve all laughed. We’ve even seen the government email addresses linked to pr0n sites! The lulz have been endless!
Below is LulzSec’s final announcement, the final LulzSec release, and a link to all of their press statements over the past 50 days. Speaking of which, the last dump of private information is quite the buffet as it features features all kinds of treasures from AT&T, more FBI crap, and even random gaming forums.

LulzSec Farewell
Friends around the globe,
We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us.
For the past 50 days we’ve been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could. All to selflessly entertain others – vanity, fame, recognition, all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy. It’s what we all crave, even the seemingly lifeless politicians and emotionless, middle-aged self-titled failures. You are not failures. You have not blown away. You can get what you want and you are worth having it, believe in yourself.
While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to this identity permanently. Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people. People with a preference for music, a preference for food; we have varying taste in clothes and television, we are just like you. Even Hitler and Osama Bin Laden had these unique variations and style, and isn’t that interesting to know? The mediocre painter turned supervillain liked cats more than we did.
Again, behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the AntiSec movement. We believe in it so strongly that we brought it back, much to the dismay of those looking for more anarchic lulz. We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us. The support we’ve gathered for it in such a short space of time is truly overwhelming, and not to mention humbling. Please don’t stop. Together, united, we can stomp down our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.
So with those last thoughts, it’s time to say bon voyage. Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind – we hope – inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.
Thank you for sailing with us. The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we head for the horizon.
Let it flow…
Lulz Security – our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011, and a shout-out to all of our battlefleet members and supporters across the globe
