I'm leaning toward "hoax." Lulzsec has been reasonably competent writers so far, and the bizarre placement of "blissfully" makes that either incompetent or some kind of steganography. That, added to the lack of tweet, makes me doubt.

Of course, it could still be some anon who actually does have the census data, and considers himself lulzsec-affiliated.



Also according to their twitter the number listed in the pastebin has been suspended, and they have a new one (not in the pastebin).


The writing style does seem different, sentences in this release aren't terminated in some cases, whereas those from officially corroborated releases always are.


Why can't anyone bother to sign their press releases, it's not like it's the 60s.


Plausible deniability? (assuming you meant to cryptographically sign the press releases.)


Hmm, good point.
