Considering they'd even earlier today advertised a Monday booty release, I suspect that, rather than abandoning the Lulzsec facade after 50 days, it's that the fuzz is a little too hot on their trail for comfort.
Damn, the AT&T-release is especially juicy. It contains a lot of highly confidential information about technology and strategy that their competitors would love to get their hands on.<p>I'm a quite technical guy and I barely understand a thing. No wonders AT&T are having troubles with fixing their network troubles, it looks like a massive, massive beast of technology.<p>I found the frequency chart fascinating. It's available publicly here:

What about analyzing their writing? They release quite a bit of text...somebody likes to write.

* Hackforums.net
* Nato-bookshop.org
* Misc other forums<p>The first of these purports to be 200K+ users.
It seems that there are better people out there that got angrier<p><a href="http://www.gamemarshal.com/features/20110622113313/lulzsec-hacked-by-rival-hackers.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamemarshal.com/features/20110622113313/lulzsec-h...</a>
Looks like they were a getting a bit anxious that they were going to be outed, which will ultimately still happen anyway. Regardless, it was a fun reading their Pastebins and Twitter feeds every few days making a mockery of multiple corporations information security.
