When a small group of hackers who were part of Anonymous learned they were being targeted for doxing (having their identities exposed) they went after the person hard, taking down two of the company websites, the CEO's Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and even his World of Warcraft accounts. The process was fast, professional, and like nothing ever seen before. This was the foundation of Lulz Security and the birth of a reputation that makes LulzSec an important part of black hat history.
