The statement goes on to explain that the organization is not linked to your identity LulzSec and succeeded in bringing back the movement AntiSec. The group, in fact, encourages others to champion their cause. "We hope, desire, ask, even the movement is manifested in a revolution that can continue without us ... Together, together, we can set foot on our common oppressors and imbued with the power and freedom that we deserve."

As final parting gift, the group released a data dump of information allegedly taken recently with AT & T, AOL, Disney, Universal, EMI and the FBI.

The group has had its way with corporations and governments over the past two months.
