The hacker group Lulz Security now does requests. If there is someone you want to take down, you can phone them up and ask them. :kraka:
The BBC reports that the controversial hacker group, who are alleged to be behind attacks on the website of the U.S. Senate, some of the Sony sites and a hack that revealed the details of contestants in the U.S. version of X Factor, have taken down sites requested.
The group publicized the telephone hotline on its Twitter feed.
Callers to the US number are met with a recorded message, in a heavy French accent, by an individual calling themself Pierre Dubois.
While the 614 area code appears to relate to the state of Ohio, it is unlikely that this is its real location.
Lulz Security said it had used distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) against eight sites suggested by callers.
It also claimed to have hit the websites of gaming magazine The Escapist, and multiplayer games EVE Online and League of Legends.
DDoS attacks typically involve crashing a website by inundating it with requests from computers under the attacker's control.
Meanwhile GamesBeat reports on something of a turf war breaking out between Lulz and rival group Anonymous.
LulzSec has begun been publicly mocking 4chan.org and Anonymous on its main Twitter account, which it has used to generate publicity for its attacks. When VentureBeat tried to access 4chan.org, the main image-sharing message board where Anonymous was reportedly born, the site was either inaccessible or very slow. That's could incite frustration from Anonymous, which has proven time and again that it is a force to be reckoned with.
