Lulz Security or LulzSec, which bills itself those evil bastards from Tweeter, made headlines earlier this week by threatening to destroy rival hacker group that hacked into Sega network - but who is LulzSec and what does it want?

What do the IMF, Citibank, Sony and now Sega all have in common? In a span of just a few weeks, all of these companies, and more, have joined the ranks of those firms fallen victim to cyber crime.

Hacker group LulzSec released their 1000th tweet statement, so called a manifesto, to its friends and foes providing its rationale for its recent activities, proclaiming that “this is the lulz lizard era, where we do things just because we find it entertaining.”

With the E3 gaming conference in Los Angeles having just passed last week, the gaming community is still in an uproar but not over new games or consoles. It's currently caught in the crossfire of a hacker civil war between two prominent hacker groups, Lulzsec and Anonymous.

LulzSec did it again and this time it isn't 'just another target'. In a major embarrassment for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), their public website went offline on Wednesday during the early evening hours of ET, within 20 minutes of LulzSec's tweet: Tango down - cia.gov - for the lulz.
