Cheeky hacking outfit LulzSec has struck again, hitting the website of US security consultants Black & Berg Security - the company run by would-be "US National Security Advisor", Joe Black
The merry pranksters hit the site's home page (opens in new tab) after the ill-favoured company issued a Security Challenge, offering a $10,000 bounty to anyone who could change the home page picture.
Some challenges, it seems, are too good to turn down. But the hacker group declined their rightful reward - the hit was, it appears, just "for the lulz".
Just hours earlier Joe Black, CEO of Black & Berg CyberSecurity Consulting, quipped somewhat cockily to the group on Twitter:
"Black & Berg Cybersecurity Consulting appreciate all the hard work that you're putting in. Your Hacking = Clients for us. Thx ~Joe"
Either it's an attempt at entrapment, or we wonder if he's regretting that one now.
LulzSec's move follows a busy week for the group, which saw it breach security at Infragard, Nintendo (opens in new tab), and Sony (opens in new tab).
