PCWorld writes: Whether you think LulzSec is doing us a favor for exposing our security weaknesses or think the hacker group has gone too far, a very old lesson can be learned here: we need to create stronger passwords. New analysis of the 62,000 logins LulzSec made publicly available reveals, yet again, our seriously weak password habits.
An Ex-hacker and game developer has revealed to NowGamer the potential fate of Lulzsec, and details on how they turned on one another. Interesting.
Nah...jailtime is better. The longer the better. It should teach them a lesson.
N4g is acting weird. I didn't post another comment but it just doubled up. Whatever. Lol.
It was reported earlier that the a member of the group LulzSec had been arrested in the UK, with the police in the UK believing that he could be involved in the numerous attacks on several publishers like Nintendo, Bethesda, Codemasters and Epic and possibly the PSN. However, the police may have been tricked into taking down the wrong man.
I always smirk at those pics x)
it should have its own cartoon
Agree or Disagree if you Agree
I know they are called meme's but they should have their own series. Nyan cat anime, lolzsec anime would be funny like robot chicken, the plot could go anywhere. Not every meme is gonna work tho, but someone work. Actually some do already have a cartoon but lulzsec doesnt right now.
Agree or Disagree if you Agree
Ahhh, I cant still remember the good ole' days when N4G still had gaming news. Such good memories...
out of all the hackers, lulsec deserves the least amount of attention. He is nothing but an attention whore and doesn't even try to stand for internet or gaming issues.
Who are all dicks. They have no real agenda other than to piss people off.
It makes their eventual demise all the more poignant.
But then, its like a murderer really.
Police could have got the wrong people for murder too.
You just never know. Look at the UK newspapers now and the hell they are going through to what they did to that man who's reputation is ruined.
LulzSec Exposed people claim to know his real identity - hopefully it's true and the police can track him down.

Not me. I've memorized multiple 12 character passwords with 4 randomly placed numbers, 2 symbols like @#$% also placed randomly, and 6 letters(caps and regular) that, when all the letters and symbols are gone, spell out some random(but real) word.
Mostly because I use to have bad passwords for everything and one time I was hacked and the guy drained 100 bucks from my account before I caught on.
LulzSec E-mail Hack Proves We're Lousy at Picking Passwords
Thats the case for some of us who use simple passwords like the screen ID/Name or etc but not all of us.
But it also proves some of the sites that suppose to be protecting our information got poor security.
It's a good thing i stopped using "123456" as my password
Here's my N4G password. "crackroach"
I always use the Kaspersky password generator. And i can store them in the program so i have a different password for every thing.
