On Friday, LulzSec said it had also hacked the Web site for the Atlanta chaper of Infragard, an FBI-affiliated site, "and leaked its user base." The group also claims to have taken "complete control over the site and defaced it."

LulzSec said it obtained about 180 log-ins, which it acknowledged is not that many, but "we'd like to take the time to point out that all of them are affiliated with the FBI in some way," the group said in a note. "Most of them reuse their passwords in other places, which is heavily frowned upon in the FBI/Infragard handbook and generally everywhere else too."

The group said it targeted the FBI because the Obama administration now treats hacking "as an act of war." In a recent international strategy statement on cyber-security, the White House said the U.S. would "respond to hostile acts in cyberspace as we would to any other threat to our country."

We all know the administration has aimed this squarely at WikiLeaks, 4chan, Anonymous and whatnot because they don’t like their pants pulled down in public, but if I’m not mistaken, I think the Pentagon just declared war on China.
Actually, the only thing that this is about is the commodification of the internets.
The powers that be don’t want anyone messing with the ABC, CBSing, Comcastification of their propaganda machine.
There are some very big ramifications for them if too much information gets out too quickly as it surely is at this particular moment in the Middle East.
If they could figure out a way to have two internetz...one that had information that only they were privy to, and one that only showed the masses celebrity cat pictures and fail videos, they’d be all over it in a New York minute.
The West doesn’t give a shit if the East hacks their colluded secrets, they just want to make sure that the average joe and joette’s eyes remain closed forever.
