LulzSec hackers bring down Escapist Magazine

I think these hackers groups are just trying to show off now. I always thought the best hackers were the ones that hacked something and no-one found out about it - now they have a running commentry on who they hacking :/?
 
That would be the worst possible thing to ever happen in such a situation.
Basically, information obtained illegally. The whole case would get thrown out of court faster than a drunk dressed in nothing but doughnut-jam.
It's these little things that cause massive court cases to fall flat on their faces like a wobbly infant. Only this time there is no mommy to rub some Mercurochrome on and kiss it better.

What if it was all completely anonamous? like what if noone could tell where the evidence came from, it just appeared? even if it just put suspicions onto the culprits. no smoke without fire kinda thing?

No.
If you cannot provide the (verified) source of any evidence in court - and thus its authenticity/integrity, it remains illegal.
 
So someone needs to challenge them to hack blizzard and blizzard needs to be waiting. They will have a good day or more to trace these guys while they try to hack it. is this a plausible idea?

Entrapment. Causing someone to do something illegal by taunting, challenging, or reassuring that everything will be ok. Doing so while knowing fully that it's a trap...
So... no.
 
I think it's safe to say that they have absolutely no interest in defending gamers' rights or even consumers' rights. They're criminals pure and simple. Find them, jail them and then show them to the world so that we might appreciate the poetic irony of caged birds.

All hail Police Emperor Lycanthrope. Well you would be if I had a say. These degenerate idiots are really starting to get on my nerves. They are serving no one but themselves.
 
On the bright side, perhaps Yahtzee will do a Zero Punctuation episode that rips these knobs to shreds.
