LulzSec

LulzSec, short for Lulz Security, was a group of hackers that gained notoriety in 2011 for conducting high-profile cyberattacks against various organizations, including government agencies, corporations, and media outlets. They aimed to expose security flaws, create chaos, and entertain themselves, often justifying their actions with the phrase "for the lulz," meaning for fun or laughs. Their activities included data breaches and publicizing stolen information, which raised awareness about online security vulnerabilities and the need for stronger cybersecurity measures. LulzSec was part of a larger hacking culture and associated with movements like Anonymous.
