These guys ARE NOT Anon. These guys are actually being bad, unlike anon, since Anon does attacks with reason. Lulzsec is just a bunch of assholes who attack online services for the..well.. obviously.. the "Lulz" of it. In my opinion, they need to be stopped, because they take many things too far.

UPDATE: They've hit the CIA Website now as well.

Very different.
I'd have to say that these are two organizations that are facing the world in very different ways. While Anon approaches things with their own sense of justice, they do little more that DoS attack to cripple networks, and show up every once in a while for a bit of protest now and then. LulzSec seems to be a bit more of loose canon, and quite literally doing it, "for the lulz." Anon certainly has an end to their means, I really do not think that LulzSec does. What I find unfortunate is that LulzSec is going to ruin it for everyone. Where Anon may have some wind behind their sails with a good number of their causes, the hacking community in general is going to be blasted to hell if LulzSec continues on this path.
That, or we see the great hacker war in which I presume all of the internets will be butter futtered to next Tuesday.

These LulzSec guys aren't doing anything really worth remembering. All they're getting at is the public websites - sites that are no more secure than most other websites. *YAWN*
I'll be more impressed when they crack into the NSA and steal that information.

I can't imagine that they're doing it "for the lulz" anymore. There was a report on Australian television the other night about an attack that LulzSec are taking credit for that involved getting into a host server and deleting over a decade's worth of information for hundreds of businesses in Victoria.

I thought they just arrested and charged the one whom posted the root key.

This is your LulzSec.
Arrested by the Metropolitan Police with the FBI in attendance, it's alleged that Ryan Cleary has participated in attacks on SOCA, the FBI, the CIA, Nintendo, Bethesda, Sega and Sony. For the lulz.
It's also alleged that he's a 19 year old who lives in a bungalow with his mum, has attempted suicide twice from age ten, has only left his room in the last 18 months to go to the toilet and shower (and be arrested), has his food and cigarettes left outside his door and has only one friend - a ginger cat. If true, I'm amazed anyone puts any stock in his ability to assess what "lulz" actually are...

Citation founded.
He certainly does seem to fit the absolute stereotype that all "ordinary" people have of people from the internets. A loner, shut-in geek incapable of real-world interactions. It rather sounds like the only lulz he's familiar with are those that have been directed at him.
But he's cool, because LulzSec always talk in pirate language!
It does rather make me wonder, though. If LulzSec are, as they are alleged to be, just six people and he's representative of them, where do they get off on deciding what's right for society and the people of the world when they separate themselves from it and fail abysmally at interacting with it?

If they try hard enough I guess they can, but many of these hackers use multiple VPN/s Virtual Private Networks to attack anonymously, not to mention all of the other tricks they use for the same effect.
To some degree I like these hacker guys, how else do we as people get heard when our governments poo on us like they all do on a daily basis. I think Cyber crime/Hactavists have an important role to play to fight for peoples freedoms. I think though they have to be careful what they choose to fight for and how they do it. I was not happy about the PSN thing but understood why they did it.

I don't. Given that they claim to be doing what they are doing 'for the lulz', I can't say I view their 'activism' as anything other than childish vandalism.
A very good question.
