Hacker Fight over credit for Sony-Blizzard-XBox DDoS
So, here's the latest update on the shenanigans in the Sony thing, where multiple groups are claiming responsibility for the DDoS, and the hackers are busy "doxxing" each other (posting real life information on the other groups).. Considering this involves a bomb threat causing a diversion of an airplane, there are probably some hackers with brown trousers right now.
This requires some kind of flow chart or maybe a Flere stickfigure diagram. What we do know: Hackers attacked Blizzard with a DDOS attack, bringing down some of their servers The next day, a sustained DDOS takes down Sony. Hacking group "Lizard Squad" takes credit, and tweets a bomb threat about the flight that the head of Sony Online Entertainment is taking from Dallas to San Diego The flight is diverted to Phoenix and is thoroughly checked, no explosive found. Another hacker (FamedGod) gets upset that Lizard Squad is taking credit and starts doxxing Lizard Squad members. Lizard Squad does the same with FamedGod, and then starts trolling hard on Twitter, claiming that this involves Jihad and that the attacks will continue until the US stops bombing ISIS. ANOTHER hacker group, UnknownSec (an offshoot of collective Anonymous) starts doxxing both groups. Hackers move on, taking down Xbox Live servers and (oddly) the page for Vatican City. (Lizard Squad crows about it with more jihad posts) Full details: PSN Issues Megathread (2014.08.24) : PS4

Only thing I can gather from all that as a certainty is that none of these individuals have time with a lady friend in the past good while

And when they get caught their lawyers will all claim they have Aspbergers and didn't know what they were doing.

The whole "outing" each other just seems like a recipe for bad things across the board for all of the hackers. Not sure why that's the go to move to embarrass the others or whatnot

All of this doxxing will make it easier for the FBI.

Is there no honor among hackers anymore?
