Anonymous and Lulzsec issue a response to FBI arrests
HACKTIVIST GROUPS Anonymous and Lulzsec have responded to the arrests of several members accused of hacking online payment service Paypal by dismissing FBI threats and vowing to keep fighting against corruption.
Their response comes to a statement made to the US National Public Radio network (NPR) by Steve Chabinsky, deputy assistant director of the FBI, after the arrests of 16 individuals believe to be involved with the hacker groups. Chabinsky said that the FBI wanted "to send a message that chaos on the internet is unacceptable".
The hacking groups said that while they understand that the FBI finds hacking web sites unacceptable, they find government lying, corporate conspiracy, and profit-geared lobbying even more unacceptable.
They said that these governments and corporations are their enemies and that they will continue to fight them "with all methods... at our disposal", including hacking web sites, the purpose of which it said was to expose lies.
In defiance of the arrests Anonymous and Lulzsec said, "We are not scared any more. Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to us as you cannot arrest an idea. Any attempt to do so will make your citizens more angry until they will roar in one gigantic choir. It is our mission to help these people and there is nothing - absolutely nothing - you can possibly to do make us stop."
Previous arrests in the US and Europe have done little to curb the hacking, which most recently targeted Rupert Murdoch's media empire and the military alliance NATO. In fact, Anonymous has tended to step up its attacks in response to arrests.
Responding to Chabinsky's assertion that the internet must not become the Wild Wild West, the hacker duo asked, when was it not such a chaotic place? They asked if the FBI really believes that it was ever in control of the internet at any point, and said that it was and is not.
They added, "most people do not behave like bandits if they have no reason to. We become bandits on the internet because you have forced our hand."
In a warning to authorities of what is yet to come they ended with, "we're back - and we're not going anywhere." Their full statement is embedded below. µ

It's a natural reaction to corporations buying the Government of so called democracies.when you take governmental control out of the hands of the people and let it be purchased by the top bidder tou will get revolution and people there's a revolution brewing.it's starting on the internet but people are sick of their rights being trampled by big business and being raped by banks!This movement will spread to your local towns and city be free all you need to stand up and be counted!!
"Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to us as you cannot arrest an idea" This is pretty bad grammatically speaking... I'm disappointed.
I meant Lulzsec, or Louise, anyway I misspelled and apologize to both Miss Boat and her family.
To luzsec & anonymous: keep in mind that when the US authorities cannot win they usually physically burn their opponents, napalm (vietnam), phosphor (germany and on), fuel bombs (iraq etc), waco, LA activist movement, japanese firebombings.
So get some fire-insurance and an extinguisher, you aren't dealing with fair and balanced people.
The UK wing though has to be wary of encouraged 'suicide' or 'accidents' when they become too much of a hassle.
THAT GAME IS TOTAL CHAOS, AND TOTALLY INFESTED WITH ANONYMOUS/LOLCATS -- AND YES IT IS 100% HOSTED ON THE INTERNET.
EVEN WORSE IS THE "COPS AND ROBBERS" MINI GAME, IN WHICH YOU ARE LULLED TO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT THE "COPS" ARE THERE TO PROTECT YOU, BUT THEN YOU FIND THE HARSH REALITY THAT THE "COPS" ARE MORE LIABLE TO RAM YOU, DELIBERATELY, THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
THE F.B.I. SHOULD PUT ~~REAL~~ TRAFFIC COPS IN THERE TO REGAIN A SENSE OF ORDER! IN THIS I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE F.B.I.
This gonna be interesting!
Lulzsec and Anonymous will fight on the net against corporate hackers (the dark side of companies). This gonna be tough. Tough because as usual, means will prevail (corporate clusters against amateur clusters (amateur is not an insult here). Or maybe not! Because in that particular case good coding is the word and will prevail compared to a shit load of processors executing lame code...
Eventually they will create a code so sophisticated that it will create a new standard. Hey... Why not ?
I laughed at the way the FBI patronized the 2 bands : "to send a message that chaos on the internet is unacceptable". But mister FBI it is already. And not for the good of the good people. Who is stealing here (as in "who play the banjo here...)? To finish my self happy rant I would say that if these guys are going extreme they will get a great job done. That nobody has done before.And maybe we'll see a movie about one day.
Good luck.
Its true that Anonymous (not lulzsec)
targeted companies, agencies and their respective websites and servers and so far while it is true that Anonymous did this illegaly, the targets they went after were also committing wrongdoings albeit under the protection of the law.
Its true that the targets they went after are corrupt and under the guise of the law has been removing the freedoms of the people slowly piece by piece as stated in the letter of anonymous.
In fact the letter itself says it all so elegantly and concisely.
Remember this is anonymous not lulzsec.
If Anonymous was underhanded, moreso were their targets because they were using the law for cover up their own nefarious crimes against the people.
Not everyone is going to let themselves roll over dead because of Rich, Powerful
and Influential People's desires to rule the world.
Dont be angry if they fight back because
somebody else started the war.
These people who try to rationalise their illegal activities are clearly in denial. They will fit in quite well with the current prison population. They don't represent the views of the majority.
