LulzSec hacked by TeaMp0isoN

LulzSec hackedThings are happening faster for LulzSec than we can report them – and not to the group’s benefit. Yesterday it was reported that a “mastermind” behind the hacktivists was arrested in the UK, although LulzSec denied Ryan Clearly’s role within the group. Clearly was charged with cybercrime offenses this morning by British prosecutors.

Official authorities aren’t the only ones waging war against LulzSec: Web Ninjas launched its own campaign against LulzSec and claimed to have turned over important details about their identities. The hacktivist group is making some enemies in the Internet community, and this morning a group calling itself TeaMp0isoN hacked the website of one of LulzSec’s members.

According to AfterDawn, TeaMp0isoN hacked Swen Slootweg’s (who goes by the handle Joepie91) website and posted the following message along with the Titantic theme “My Heart Will Go On” (you can check out a mirror of the site for yourself):

BREAKING NEWS: THE LULZBOAT HAS OFFICIALLY SANK WITH 100S OF ANON MEMBERS ON BOARD!

No matter how many bots you gather, no matter how much people you lie to, no matter how much pre-made tools you use, you will_NEVER_represent the real hacking scene, we warned you, we told you we do not make empty threats, we gave u 48hrs to secure your ircs yet u failed to do so, instead you posted hashes from public forums and then claimed you doxed us and laughed at the fact that I was 17 years old. Stop telling yourself that u are hackers, putting a ip into a irc is NOT hacking nor is using pre-made tools and scripts to grab databases…you do not represent the anti-sec movement, u are not allowed to greet underground groups like zf0, ab, h0n0, el8 like your member “AnonSabu” was doing, you will never be a part of the underground scene, if anyone thinks you are underground and can actually hack they have no idea about what happens in the underground scene. Oh and TeaMp0isoN issue 2 is coming out VERY soon exposing lulzsec members (pictures, addresses, passwords, ips, phone numbers etc)….not so anonymous anymore are you? Let’s hope that you can swim because the lulzboat just got titanic’d.

A chat log between alleged LulzSec members has also hit the Internet courtesy of someone going by the alias of Red_Penguin. “I am not promoting the purity and perfection of this government…But this Anti-Security operation is not the right answer. I suggest a #ProSec operation which does not damage the reputation of the Internet as a whole. Do not take up the Lulz Lizard banner and show how bad the Internet can be, but instead stand against those who are only damaging our interwebs which we live on and think for yourselves,” the anti-Lulz hacker explains. A link to the infamous Th3j35t3r’s site is included, who has declared his own anti-Lulz sentiments.

It would seem like things are catching up with LulzSec, and possibly Anonymous, which has aligned itself with the more attention-grabbing antics of LulzSec for Operation Anti-Sec. LulzSec has been relatively quiet, revealing only that it’s taken down several Brazilian websites.

It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.

Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs

For the last few decades, Microsoft Word has been the de facto standard for word processors across the working world. That's finally starting to shift, and it looks like one of Google's productivity apps is the heir apparent. The company's Google Docs solution (or to be specific, the integrated word processor) is cross-platform and interoperable, automatically syncs, is easily shareable, and perhaps best of all, is free.

However, using Google Docs proves it still has a long way to go before it can match all of Word's features -- Microsoft has been developing its word processor for over 30 years, after all, and millions still use Microsoft Word. Will Google Docs' low barrier to entry and cross-platform functionality win out? Let's break down each word processor in terms of features and capabilities to help you determine which is best for your needs.
How does each word processing program compare?
To put it lightly, Microsoft Word has an incredible advantage over Google Docs in terms of raw technical capability. From relatively humble beginnings in the 1980s, Microsoft has added new tools and options in each successive version. Most of the essential editing tools are available in Google Docs, but users who are used to Word will find it limited.
