Hacker groups call for stealing, leaking classified information
The hacker groups LulzSec and Anonymous are teaming up to launch attacks on government websites with the intent of stealing and leaking classified information, and are enlisting any like-minded brethren to do the same.
LulzSec announced what it's calling Operation Anti-Security in a statement June 19 that employed a metaphor of naval warfare on the "Internet ocean."
"We encourage any vessel, large or small, to open fire on any government or agency that crosses their path," the statement read. "We fully endorse the flaunting of the word 'AntiSec' on any government website defacement or physical graffiti art. We encourage you to spread the word of AntiSec far and wide, for it will be remembered."
To date, LulzSec and Anonymous have appeared to operate independently of each other, but LulzSec's statement said it is teaming up with Anonymous for AntiSec, and Anonymous confirmed the alliance via Twitter, PC World reported.
