Most of those anonymous guys were rookie kids just messing around with powerful tools. Not all of them of course but even in Lulzsec, which was known to be the better of the lot, only two turned out to be the hackers who did most of the work IIRC. But it only takes one to take down the rest.<p>I just came across one of their Wikipedias and it turns out one of the Lulzsec guys was doing blockchain stuff recently that got acquired by Facebook and is now part of Libra which is a bit... ironic. But to be fair he later said:<p>> Al-Bassam has since been critical of Libra, stating that "the road to dystopia is paved with good intentions, and I'm concerned about Libra's model for decentralization".<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Al-Bassam" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Al-Bassam</a>

They have access to so many lives, they only complain about getting lost in the data (e.g. failing to detect threats).
