Hackers Group Offers To Help Sega

Last week, security was breached at servers belonging to Sega and Bio Ware, and no hacker has claimed responsibility for the same so far.

Tr`ue to the phrase: "It takes a thief to catch a thief", the hacker group LulzSec, which has recently been in the limelight for hacking several high profile websites, has offered a helping hand to Sega for nabbing the hackers.

It has been reported that hackers took sensitive information on about 1.3 million customers from Sega's servers. This includes customer names, dates of birth, e-mail addresses, and encrypted passwords. LulzSec has Tweeted, "We want to help you destroy the hackers that attacked you. We love the Dreamcast, these people are going down".

 We must mention here that this group has been responsible for the recent attacks against Eve Online, MineCraft, and Bethesda Softworks, and therefore it seems ironical that it is actually offering help against those responsible for activities similar to its own.

Meanwhile, Bio Ware lost user names, passwords and other personal information of more than 18,000 Neverwinter Nights users from its more than decade-old community server system.

In this case, no one has claimed responsibility for this attack, and nobody has offered any help to track the attackers either.

US Diver Launches Underwater Search For Osama's Body


Eccentric California salvage diver and entrepreneur Bill Warren, 59, has announced that he wants to find Osama Bin Laden's body as proof the Al Qaeda leader is really dead.

"I'm doing it because I am a patriotic American who wants to know the truth. I do it for the world," Warren told the New York Post.

The nearly decade-long hunt for the elusive Al Qaeda leader, believed to be the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, ended on May 2 after US Navy Seals gunned him down in the Pakistani garrison town Abbottabad.

The terrorist's body was buried at sea. The White House said it would not release graphic images of Osama's corpse, but the CIA did later show the photographs to select US lawmakers.

"I have a Russian girlfriend, and she tells me that over there, in intelligence circles, they don't believe bin Laden's really dead," Warren said. "I do not trust my government or Obama."

Warren expects the search will cost about $400,000 and will rely on several boats and high-end technology. If Warren finds the body, he will hold a DNA test at the ship.
