  1. I have found severe vulnerabilities in some certain bookmarklets that shut down, and I just use the vulnerability that I found to just make a text file on the server explaining the vulnerability, and how it could be fixed.

  2. His name is pronounced Mus-ta-fa al (as in aluminium) bass-am. Mustafa al-Bassam. Not moos-taa-faa All-Baasaam. He was born in EE-RAK. not Eye-rak. VV, I love you and your work but this struck a chord in me 😂

  3. It's funny how the CIA is unironaccaly giving a speech about "vandale, acting without care of costs"

    But anyone who has saw WIKIleaks will know that they're the most disgusting derogates with 0 morals.

    So give this hacker a big badge of honor and a statue =)

  4. "You're a teenager with a unique set of skills far beyond what most your age have. You're given a choice; continue being a typical teenager who plays video games or hangs out with friends or use your skills to make history as the teen who outsmarted the entire U.S. government."

    Yeah, seems about a normal Tuesday, I remember when I leaked everyone's locker passwords and caused upheaval as everyone scrambled to change their locks as fast as possible.

  5. I would have rather seen Lulzsec never been caught, and kept hacking one corrupt government after another and expose to the entire world how rotten to the core all governments are. We know they are, we just need the evidence to prove it.
