Sick of all the hackings making headlines? So are other hackers.
A group of hackers that calls itself the A-Team has targeted Lulz Security, the group that has taken credit for a number of recent attacks against law enforcement agencies, government agencies and companies such as Sony Corp. The A-Team has taunted Lulz members and seeks to identify them publicly, The New York Times
Though other groups, such as factions of Anonymous, have taken credit for several recent attacks, the Times article said Lulz in particular was a "tempting target" for rival hackers because of its "provocative attacks and flamboyant style."
Anonymity is considered essential among hackers, so simply being identified could be enough to thwart any hacker, the article said.
Lulz claims to have shut down already, though law enforcement agencies continue to pursue its members, the article said. A new group, called AntiSec, has continued to go after the targets Lulz has claimed credit for hacking, such as the Arizona police.
