Hacker group LulzSec gets into the CIA’s computer system

Group is now asking fans to pick next target

Infamous hacker group LulzSec has taken another victim: the CIA. The attack on the intelligence agency is the group’s the latest since the high-profile breaches of corporate giants Sony, Citibank, and PBS. The attack against the CIA’s computer system shut down the agency’s website for two hours and gave the hackers access to highly confidential information. CIA officials say they are looking into the breach. LulzSec refer to themselves as “the world’s leaders in high-quality entertainment at your expense,” and boast some 158,000 followers on Twitter. The group is now encouraging fans to phone its hotline with suggestions of which organization they should target next.
