THE INQUIRER has received exclusive details about what infamous yet little known hacker Louise Boat looks like. The femme fatale, who apparently leads the hacktivist group Anonymous, reputedly has long, blonde hair and tends to wear pink. She also apparently attempts to disguise her identity by wearing a monocle, top hat and a false moustache, according to sources close to the group.

Saturday night as was I reporting on the “retirement” of the criminal hacker gang LulzSec, I took a chance: I downloaded the file containing the group’s “final drop,” which it had released to the BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay. The file was 600-plus megabytes and contained several things, including evidence that the group, or someone helping it out, had defaced a Navy civilian jobs board and a list of corporate networks belonging to numerous companies, including the Walt Disney Company. But the biggest thing inside that folder was a trove of documents apparently taken from wireless giant AT&T concerning the planned construction and rollout of its LTE network.

LulzSec keep out ... a server room, with systems you want to keep safe from hackers The abrupt decision of LulzSec to disband – or, at least, to appear to disband – may have caught some people by surprise: was it like a band breaking up at the peak of its powers? Its final pronouncements were gnomic as usual, linking to a Pastebin page in which it announced it was ending after 50 days (which implies that it began on the weekend of 7-8 May with the hack of Fox.com for the X Factor US contestants' database) and a torrent which turned out to be virus-infected . For those who read it, the 457MB download included internal data from AOL and AT&T and what are claimed to be FBI documents. The reality is that LulzSec was running out of time – and targets.

Yet another breach of information has occurred, this time from the Arizona Department of Public Safety . A large amount of data about law enforcement operations was exposed, as was a considerable amount of personnel information. As someone who has been working in information security and the implications of technology for nearly 30 years, two things come to mind. First, if a largely uncoordinated group could penetrate the systems and expose all this information, then so could a much more focused, well-financed, and malevolent group — and it would not likely result in postings picked up by the media. Attacks by narcotics cartels, organized crime, terrorists and intelligence agencies are obvious threats; we can only assume that some have already succeeded but not been recognized or publicized.LulzSec , the hacker group that has been a thorn in the side of major institutions ranging from Sony to the CIA, says it is going away -- but not quietly. The group said late Saturday it would disband. In what it says is its final act of mayhem, it publicly unloaded a trove of documents containing a significant amount of compressed data.

The move comes amid growing international police investigations against the hacking group and was announced hours after rival hackers claimed to have unmasked LulzSec’s core leaders. Over the past two months LulzSec has been responsible for a string of publicity seeking hacks and disruption attacks on a host of websites including the CIA, Nintendo, Sony Pictures and the Arizona Police Department. The group started off claiming its hacks were done purely for fun and to highlight poor cyber security. But in recent weeks it became increasingly political targeting a slew of government websites and announcing an alliance with the once rival hactivist group Anonymous.
The CIA website was reported to have come under attack by Lulz Security hackers earlier this month The Lulz Security hacking group that has claimed attacks on high-profile targets including the CIA and Sony in recent weeks has exclusively told the BBC's Newsnight programme that it wants to target the "higher ups" who write the rules and "bring them down a few notches". Lulzsec has claimed a new scalp - releasing confidential material taken from the Arizona police department. The anonymous hacking group says they've not been knocked off course, or successfully exposed, by rival hackers who claim to have named them online - apparently because they object to their agenda.
