Completely agree with you, but in my experience people who are over-confident in their abilities can make some very stupid mistakes. I'm hoping they fall into this category.
I was thinking the exact same thing a while ago. They are busy fending off a lot of flak, which makes the potential for making mistakes quite high. Let's say one of them tweets from a mobile device. Have any of you noticed how easy it is to mistakenly tick the "add location" box in mobile Twitter clients? Go check it out.
That's what she said.

I think the best we can hope for is that they get so arrogant, that one member gets sloppy and slips up somehow.
In due time...hopefully not before they take down the okes who digged into Sega, lol

Yes, they can. But the traces they receive will likely lead to absolutely nowhere and nothing.
See below.
Proxies are a very simplistic first step process to anonymity and security. They most likely also make use of routed circuits, spoofed/fake MAC addresses, and a whole bevvy of other such techniques.
But essentially, yes, probably impossible to trace.
If you consider that they have a website, twitter, and running an actual switchboard - and NOBODY has gotten anywhere yet with all those things in place - it does seem quite scary...
And THAT is usually exactly how it goes.
Slip up once, and it all comes tumbling down. Nobody is perfect all the time...
This is not actually true. The Web Ninjas (gay name) posted that Ryan was only IN on it and they had a hell of a lot more details that they weren't sharing and that Sabu, a 30-something year old guy from Canada, was actually LulzSec. So more to follow and they weren't misguided in arresting Ryan.
Couscous; the food so nice they named it twice
My thoughts exactly *rubs hands together in anticipation* These tossers have gone on too long now.
+1 for combo thread combining all of this.
Anyway. This is getting interesting. While "that poor bastard" may or may not have been an inner circle member or not, it was great to read the letter that Lulz posted to the FBI. Seems there is no honour among thieves huh.
I will be joyfully watching and following this whole spectacle from the comfortable confines of my armchair.
