Bethesda and US Senate sites hacked, data published

So... The US government issues a statement recently stating that they can and will use military force if they catch some hacker group stealing any of their sensitive information.

Lulzsec sees this as a "challenge" of course, so they hack the senate (and Bethesda just for the Lulz).

To Lulzsec: You should heed the words of the US government. It's all fun and games until they drop a bunker buster on your house. Believe me, they will not hesitate to strike you if they feel threatened, and they most certainly will not do this for the "Lulz".

Gotta love the part "we're gonna bomb you if you hack us". No sane mind would ever make such a statement unless he/she only envisioned the US getting hacked by some lonely nerd living in a tent/cave in Iran or Northern Korea.. But what if the hackers live in densely populated areas called cities IN the US, Britain, Germany, France, etc? Will you declare war on those countries while at it? Cause it surely won't work like Syria did (what would the world do without Nato).

Then again, this is the best of US military intelligence. Props for keeping this oxymoron alive and kicking!

Remember these 3 words: problem, reaction, solution

An example:

Problem: hacking that appears to be rampant with no low-level government or corporation safe

Reaction: people start to worry about their personal information and whether there are terrorists trying to steal government information

Solution: introduction of Draconian cybersecurity laws that infringe on the rights of a free Internet for all.

Maybe the governments are purposely letting these things happen for the end result that they desire.

slamscaper, they don't need to drop a bunker buster on a hacker's house. The US intelligence agencies have assets that kill the person and make it look like a suicide or accident.
