Maybe we should start consolidating this entire hacking war into one thread - it's getting a major hassle to follow all of them.
Regarding LulzSec and their "open letter" - ummm ... the FBI has been well-known for co-opting criminal elements into their investigations as a way of exposing bigger organisations in return for lighter sentences - I doubt he'll see any jail-time if he manages to bring any of Lulz's members to light.
Now this is funny, dont try and snitch Lulzsec...

Maybe they're bluffing? Not the way a dog bluffs either.
Seeing as these guys are clearly engaged in illegal activity and bragging about it via Twitter, can the authorities in conjunction with Twitter not trace these idiots?
I am not sure what the policy on stuff like this is.
Here is an extract from a Techland article:
Twitter's policy states that they'll notify a user before responding to a subpoena unless a gag order prohibiting notification is in place, which was the case with WikiLeaks in January. And they did it anyway.So its not impossible that Twitter can release information regarding these guys. Basically, if these hacked companies go to court and manage to get a subpoena. Or, if they are able to convince Twitter that these guys are in breach of laws, they can also get the info.The site's privacy policy states that the company will disclose user information if they believe that "it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Twitter's rights or property."
That's what she said.

But, it's just as easy to hide on Twitter. If these guys can get away with their site being unable to be traced to a single source, surely they can hide from where they're tweeting just as easily on Twitter?
