Punking the NYPD with fake drone ads
‘Essam’, a 29-year-old art school grad from Maine, who served in Iraq as a “geo-spatial analyst”, has put up posters like the one above all over New York. It shows drones being used to police regular people in an Orwellian world… with the NYPD logo plastered all over it, as if to endorse it. The NYPD wants him arrested, he wants to let people know the scariness of drones.
Animal New York scored an exclusive interview with the street artist who readily admits that he’s not really a part of the street art scene and it’s interesting to hear him describe his work.
He’s already put up over a hundred of these spoof drone ads and he’s done them under the very nose of the NYPD and has yet to be caught. Let’s hope it stays that way.

LulzSec and the 'A-Team'
From Pasteboard:
To understand who/what lulzsec/gn0sis are/is you need to understand where they came from. Everything originates from the *chan (4chan/711chan/etc.) culture. This internet subculture is pretty much the dregs of the internet. It’s a culture built around the anonymity of the internet. If your anonymous no one can find you. No one can hurt you, so your invincable. The problem with this idealogy, is it’s on the internet. The internet by definition is not anonymous. Computers have to have attribution. If you trace something back far enough you can find its origins. So let’s give a brief event timeline on how these groups got together:
1. Anonymous rises up from 4chan against CoS.
2. Anonymous starts DDoSing stuff.
3. Various lower level hacking groups get involved.
4. Anonymous stagnates for a while.
5. Uprisings in the world Attract Anonymous.
6. ProjectPM Looser Barrett Brown becomes mouth piece of Anon.
7. Anonymous shifts focus toward “Worldy” Affairs.
8. Aaron Barr desides he’s tired of his job and targets Anon.
9. gn0sis (Uncommon) comes out of no where and releases the Gawker data.
10. gn0sis teams up with anon hackers with all the OP<INSERT SOMETHING HERE> crap.
11. gn0sis (nigg, eekdacat, uncommon, kayla, lauralie) and sabu (from OP Anon shit) hack HBGary.
12. This is where Topiary comes in. They all form lulzsec to be “hacktivists”.
13. Lulzsec (now a mix of gn0sis and opanon people) hack SONY and other stuff.

Sony laid off a number of employees responsible for network security, two weeks before attacks brought down the PlayStation Network.
Sony cut online security staff two weeks before it was hacked (via thenextweb)
fa brutto dire “godo ancor di più”?
(e comunque c’è un sentore di contrappasso stupendo in tutto ciò. e scommetto che licenziati incazzati = delicious cake per Anonymous. Viva il nuovo luddismo.)
