Quite The Busy Group
In the CIA attack, the group packet-flooded the agency's website and brought it down for a short period on Wednesday. Some reports referred to the attack as the group's biggest yet -- , though the target is certainly the most prominent.
LulzSec had hacked the US Government once before: attackers associated with the group broke into the US Senate web server earlier this week and posted the site's directory structure .

LulzSec has also released the emails and passwords of about 62,000 email users, although how it got this information is unknown. One could surmise that this is a list of compiled information from previous hacks the group has undertaken, but nobody knows for sure.
