“Worrying Is For Fools,” Says Lulz Security Leader

Gawker landed a somewhat exclusive interview with one of the apparent leaders of hacker collective Lulz Security, which made headlines once again yesterday by hacking their way into internal servers belonging to the Arizona Department of Public Safety and publishing more than a few documents and emails in retaliation for the state’s illegal immigration laws.

In short, Lulz Security isn’t afraid of its associates or members being arrested, they’re not afraid to out their own if they think someone is cooperating with authorities, and they plan to continue waging war on government entities the world over – especially the United States.

(I think that just about covers everything big that LulzSec has done this week.)

There aren’t a lot of companies out there who have that kind of cash on hand, so the list of possibilities is pretty short.

Could it be EA? Maybe Google? Possibly even Facebook? Only time will tell.
