Support NeoGAF

[Neuromancer]

How the fuck have these kids not been arrested yet? Amazing.

It probably won't be long now that two of them have been identified.

[foxbeldin]

So... the new weapon for console warriors?

 

[udivision]

Syndrome sheds a tear.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I'm pretty sure you could find a bash script that does this for free on github or stackoverflow

http://sourceforge.net/projects/loic/

Paypal me laterz

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Not that expensive. I'll give it a spin on Neogaf.

 

[Marcel]

Misterxmedia now has his Bond villain superweapon.

 

[Wil348]

At these prices, you would be insane not to!

Spoiler

[Metaphor for Giant Robot]

"$5.99 with an additional fee of your online banking and credit card information."

 

[DannyDanger]

MS is gonna buy it and use on PSN

we're dooooomed

 

[SmithnCo]

I'm sure someone is gullible enough to pay for this. Lizard website DDOS when.

 

[TechOne]

Trying it on cia.gov brb.

 

[Amentallica]

I hope no one here is pressing F.

 

[Marcel]

At least we're moving closer and closer to the Shadowrun dystopia. I look forward to doing runs with my fellow GAF chummers.

 

[Lenardo]

you all know they- should- have NEW version of this software because, you know damn well that sony, MS, Blizzard, EA etc will be buying the software to attempt to immunize their networks.

 

[D'ultimate]

I'm starting to believe these guys are getting funded by North Korea...or some other shady Sony hating backer. They just attack MS just to seem neutral.

How the fuck are these guys still around?

Some keep saying the FBI this and FBI that but apparently whatever they've done so far, and I'm guessing this as well, is not FBI level shit so can we just stop with that?

Losers of the highest order and fucking sociopaths at that. Just not giving a fuck about all the normal lives they're disrupting for their stupid ass agenda.

 

[Dreamgazer]

Why is GAF still up?

lol i was waiting for the kooks to come out and was not disappointed

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

This image has so many uses and it always makes me laugh

 

[GuardianE]

I'm really confused as to why nothing is being done about this. If they're actively selling a product, then it's traceable.

 

[Klyka]

lol i was waiting for the kooks to come out and was not disappointed

"Lizard Squad" is Korean and means "A whale's vagina"

 

[Horohoro]

cannot or should not? there's always a loophole...

TO THE INLINE SKATES!

I adore that movie

Doesn't say anything about using this to fight the source of interuptions of service...

 

[Chris1]

Most likely, greed and that one time when they slip (they always slip)

How can they withdraw from PayPal anyway if there real bank details are tied to a real bank account

Makes me wonder which country these guys are in

They don't have to withdraw, they can lose to themselves on purpose via gambling sites that allow paypal (poker for example)

 

[Loakum]

Like I said before and got labeled a "tin folded hat wearer", this will be the kind of shit that will enable the government to regulate the internet! All in the name of cyber security. Watch.

 

[Marcel]

I'm really confused as to why nothing is being done about this. If they're actively selling a product, then it's traceable.

If you think they're using Paypal or something easily traced for receiving money, you're definitely confused, yeah. "Following the money" is harder in an era of sometimes obtuse cryptocurrency.

 

[Jhriad]

Goddammit. What's the fucking point?

Get morons to install their software so they can use their consumers systems in their botnet and they pay for the pleasure.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You need to read up on crypto currency if you think it's that trivial. There's a reason Silk Road operated on cryptocurrency.

So what can you buy with Cryptocurrency? Seems very limited.

This can't be real right?

 

[Violater]

Stay safe gaf...

 

[entremet]

And twitter continues to let this happen

How so?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Dre's been using cryptocurrency to fund Detox

 

[USC-fan]

Stay safe gaf...

lol

thinking the same thing!

 

[MrDanger88]

Press X to hack

 

[CaptainTiptop]

They tweeted that Paypal is 'coming soon.'

Harder, not impossible. Every transaction on the blockchain is public, mind you.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Mostly illegal stuff. But some stores accept it as currency.

 

[Portugeezer]

brb trying it on mega.co.nz

 

[BokehKing]

It probably won't be long now that two of them have been identified.

http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/12/whos-in-the-lizard-squad/

So one has been arrested before and continues to do the same dumb shit?

Lock him up

 

[Alx]

The only outcome I can see from such "services" is that it will speed up the regulation of the internet. There's no way it can stay as free as it is right now if it can be disrupted so easily. It was fun while it lasted...

 

[BokehKing]

How so?

By removing their pedastal(their accounts)
Everytime they make a new one, deactivate it

 

[CaptainTiptop]

If you live in the UK you can buy second hand games, films and electronics from CEX using bitcoin. That's the only legit use I've seen in the real world, though.

 

[Marcel]

For Bitcoin, yes. As I understand it, cryptocurrency like Darkcoin has even more privacy and security attached to transactions.

 

[Bunta]

Aaaand just another thing proving how dumb these guys are.

 

[SmokedMeat]

At this point I'm fine with it.

 

[inki]

Oh snap.. Bring on the RICO Act!

 

[Marcel]

At this point I'm fine with it.

You want government and corporate interests to further control the flow of information because script kiddies stopped your online video games? Wow.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Okay this may be just my fault since I only read the first page... but how do they make this service not trackable? They have to upload the tools to somewhere right? I am damn sure the Feds can get the info if they wanted to... or the NSA...

 

[mike4001_]

I am interested what Sony or MS would do if they got daily (or even weekly) attacks.

Close their online department ?

Basically nothing they could do about it.

 

[flkraven]

Didn't know Watchdogs 2 came out already. This Ubisoft DLC is getting out of control.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You really think it stops at videogames? I don't.
