Hacking collective Lulz Securtiy (LulzSec) has made headlines most recently with high profile intrusions and data compromising on websites owned by PBS, Sony, FOX and Unveilance a whitehat security company that specializes in data breaches and botnets. With each successful breach LulzSec posts a press release on it’s website listing it’s spoils of war, usernames, passwords, email address, etc. LulzSec, like hacktivist group Anonymous is made of an unknown amount of individuals located from around the world. They operate in a similar manner in which communication is made in an IRC chat room(s) and the assumption is that there is no clear leadership or structure, though that remains to be seen. There has been recent IRC Chat logs and other data mining that suggests the two groups have ties to one another, an assumption LulzSec denies.
This past Friday afternoon the group announced that it had stolen and posted administrative emails and passwords for 50+ porn sites, along with 26,000 emails and passwords for users of the adult content website Pron.com.
Hi! We like porn (sometimes), so these are email/password
combinations from pron.com which we plundered for the lulzCheck out these government and military email
addresses that signed up to the porn site…They are too busy fapping to defend their country
The group was quick to point out that six of the 26,000 email addresses stolen from Pron.com contained those who signed up for the site using their government or military (.gov and .mil) email accounts.
LulzSec, called on its followers over Twitter to try and use the credentials to log into Facebook, and to post on the compromised accounts to show their propensity for Internet porn. Facebook quickly responded to by matching up the leaked email addresses against its own database and resetting those users passwords.

In an unexpected twist though, LulzSec has now turned it’s reticule on Bethesda and its online FPS game Brink. It started on Sunday (June 12th) with tweets from their LulzSec twitter account:
“We were going to keep this little treasure chest to ourselves, but it appears the hand has been bitten. Say your prayers, Brink users >:]”
Followed by:
“Big lulz coming up in the near future. Time to show these bitches how it’s done. #Brink #Bethesda #ZeniMax.”
The group later tweeted again that it would have carried out the attack yesterday but that it looked forward to releasing ‘it” in 24hrs.
“We’d release right now, but we’re missing one vital ingredient to complete our victory soup. No ETA, but we’re hoping in the next 24 hours.”
The news only gets more bleak with the tweet “Snap your minds into a new realm, my friends. We did it because they couldn’t stop us – and did it we did, as you’ll see. We always deliver.” almost indicating that the hack has been completed, whatever “it” may be. There hasn’t been any word from Bethesda on the matter as of this write up but it appears that the Bethesda Store is currently unavailable and has been since 3pm yesterday which was around the time the first LulzSec tweet was posted in regards to Bethesda. If you or anyone you know has a Bethesda account I encourage you to at least change your password as soon as possible and as a general rule of thumb if you use the same password on multiple sites/services change those as well. Since we don’t know the full reach and exposure of what LulzSec has accomplished be on the look out of any personal information of yours that may be associated with Bethesda so that you are aware of just what information of yours must be watched closely or altered in the near future.
