A rep from the Lizard Mafia, an alleged section of the hacker group Lizard, recently gave chat interview to The Washington Post. During the interview, the rep, going by the name Ryan Cleary opened up about the Christmas Day Xbox Live and Sony PlayStation Network DDoS attacks, their alleged association with ISIS and their hand in helping the cyber-terrorist group The Guardians of Peace, in the Sony Pictures Interview hack.
During the interview with The Washington Post, the Lizard Mafia rep tried to defend ruining Christmas for children across the nation, writing:
“One of our biggest goals is to have fun, of course. But we're also exposing massive security issues with these companies people are trusting their personal information with. The customers of these companies should be rather worried.”
However, after the interview pointed out that overloading systems with DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, doesn’t compromise users personal information, the Lizard Mafia rep danced around the logic hole, claiming:
“It tells you how much money they've put into securing their systems. Not having people take down your business critical systems like this should be one of your top security priorities. Which it clearly isn't.”
The Lizard Maffia rep later dropped the white hat routine altogether, admitting:
“We're not an activist group...We've been humorously describing ourselves as a cyber-terrorist group. I mean, referring to us as a hacker/hacking group would probably be the simplest choice.”
The self professed cyber-terrorist went on to talk about their alleged the Sony Pictures hack group the Guardians of Peace and ISIS:
“Well, we do know some people from the gop. We do not have any links to the IS.”
The Lizard Maffia rep went on to claim that the group played a small part in Sony Pictures Interview Hack:
“Well, we didn't play a large part in that...We handed over some Sony employee logins to them. For the initial hack.”
