Sitting back, watching the hacking wars from the e-z chair.

It's like a soap opera...so-called script kiddies attacking companies, trying to get into government websites, pretending to have some higher moral calling...

and then came the web ninjas, pulling together people on the internet to expose the hackers from LulzSec.  And suddenly, one member of LulzSec goes down.  A 19 year old kid.

Their flaw: vanity.  They chatter in public about their exploits and their next targets, and since they're on IRC, someone's gonna get their chats and publish them.  Doesn't matter if they operate behind a VPN off in Iceland or the Bahamas, they leave tracks behind because they're too vain to not go quietly.
