LulzSec attacks Escapist Magazine, EVE Online, and Minecraft
Hacker group LulzSec, the same group that's attacked Sony and Nintendo in the past, has tweeted that it's committed three distributed denial of service attacks against gaming companies today, bringing down EVE Online's Tranquility server, Minecraft's multiplayer services, and the Escapist Magazine's website. EVE Online's CCP has confirmed both the outage and the attack, the Escapist is unreachable at the moment, and Minecraft creator Notch says that things were down, but supposedly service has been restored.
LulzSec hasn't shared a reason for the attacks just yet, but we can only guess it's, as they say, "for teh lulz."

I fail to see any link between the three targets.
Looks like they are attacking League of Legends
About all they managed was dropping the login servers, something Riot is fully capable of *crag*ing up themselves
Can Anonymous just slap their shit or something already so I can stop reading the word "LulzSec"?
BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. THANKS, LULZSEC
