NINJA PIRATE HACKER GROUP Lulzsec has joined forces with the hacktivist 
group Anonymous in a global operation targeted at governments and banks.

The duo launched Operation Anti-Security today, declaring "unremitting 
war" on the "freedom-snatching moderators" of the internet. They vowed 
to fight both the government and what they called "whitehat security 
terrorists", persumably referring to genuine security outfits like 
Sophos, which has been highly critical of Lulzsec as being immature and 
lacking "moral spine".

Lulzsec and Anonymous called on others to support their efforts, 
suggesting hacking government and banking websites. They particularly 
encouraged the use of the word "Antisec" as digital or physical graffiti 
in order to spread the message behind attacks.

Both groups have gained both support and criticism for a number of 
recent hacks, but this is the first time they have teamed up to take 
down a target. They revealed that their top priority is to steal and 
leak classified government information, particularly emphasising the 
banking industry. They also promised to break through any attempts to 
censor them.
