><i>the attention paid to LulzSec — a litter of script kiddies with kindergarten knowledge of the basest forms of technological harassment since 90s AOL proggies — is disgusting. And pathetic. And dangerous.</i><p>Many of the things I've read in criticism of lulzsec is that the writer always considers themselves better, somehow above the techniques employed below themselves. They're writing lulzsec off like some snooty bankrobber who prefers elaborate oceans eleven style heists so much that they find the mere idea of breaking into an unlocked bank at night distasteful. They seem to gloss over the fact that lulzsec got results. Enough doors were unlocked at night that they caused a good shitstorm.<p>If you want to use them as a springboard for discussion on responsible disclosure, fine. Were they immature? Of course. Want to analyze what the coverage means for the current state of journalism be it tech-specific or not, blog or real news outlet? Good, go do that. But what I am sick of seeing, is the "Oh yeah, well, I could do that if I wanted to, I just don't want to." attitude. Fuck you buddy. What did you do to stop those widespread vulnerabilities from being exploited? Oh, nothing? So you're just miffed that the culture and collective ego you bought into was shaken? You deserve it.
