After a whirlwind run of headline-grabbing hacking exploits that 
involved the likes of Sony, the CIA, the U.S. Senate, and FBI partner 
Infragard, hacking group LulzSec is apparently--and suddenly--calling it 
quits.

The group, which cropped up on many people's radar for the first time 
just last month, sent a tweet late today with a link to a document on 
Pastebin declaring that the group's run of cybermischief was coming to 
an end.

"It's time to say bon voyage," the statement reads. "Our planned 50 day 
cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving 
behind--we hope--inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, 
disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, 
even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, 
somewhere. Anywhere." (You can read the complete text of the statement 
below.)

The group also linked to a final cache of stolen information, which, 
according to a report in the International Business Times, includes data 
from AT&T and AOL, among others. Twitter user @Complex posted a link to 
a screenshot purportedly from the data dump, which shows what looks like 
a defaced U.S. Navy civilian-careers Web page (see below). LulzSec had 
said Thursday, after leaking what it called sensitive documents from the 
Arizona Department of Public Safety, that it would be "releasing more 
goods" on Monday.
