LulzSec releases classified data of ‘racist’ Arizona law enforcement
Published on June 23rd, 2011
Written by: Eric W. Dolan

The group of rogue and jocular hackers known as Lulz Security – or LulzSec – released data Thursday night it claims belongs to Arizona law enforcement in a campaign dubbed “Operation Chinga La Migra.”

“We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement,” the group said on their website.

LulzSec is targeting the state’s law enforcement because they are against SB1070, Arizona’s controversial immigration enforcement law and called Arizona a “racial profiling anti-immigrant police state.”

LulzSec announced Tuesday that it would team up with hacker activist group Anonymous, as the manhunt for people involved with both groups continues. LulzSec has also claimed responsibility for the Sony hack that compromised millions of peoples’ personal information, as well as several government hacks. The group burst onto the public radar with a well-publicized hack of PBS NewsHour’s website in early June.

1. Not enough education on the people who wrote the law.

One was a conservative think tank, the other was a southwestern Neo Nazi organization. Figuring out which is which is becoming increasingly difficult.

Three prominent names: Russell Pearce, Neo-Nazi JT Ready and fellow neo-Nazi Harry Hughes are ultimately responsible for this piece of shit legislation.

5. Who will harvest their crops? From what I've heard about Georgia's law,
the answer is, nobody.

3. Seriously no point in going after these guys since
what they did is illegal but thanks to Anthony Weiner's non scandal , which he did nothing wrong he had to resign following this example that Bachman and Vitter and Clarence Thomas and his wife continue to break the law.... guess what Luz Sec does is perfectly fine. Since their peers above them do far worse and get away with it.

4. Rachel Maddow seems to think this wasn't lulz-y enough
Edited on Thu Jun-23-11 09:42 PM by starroute
At least she just reported on it and noted with surprise that it didn't seem very funny and that the LulzSec press release didn't have the usual snark about their targets.

Hard to tell what's going on there, but she may be right.


On edit: Maddow's got a good sense of style. LulzSec tweets, "In response to the unusual style of our press release... this one was written by an anonymous allied ship, not The Lulz Boat. :) "
