AG already has a few hackers who only hack to get to the top of the high score list. The hackers who are attacking Sony, Nintendo, and many other companies probably won't attack AG because AG is a relatively small company that stores almost no personal data.

That's not really the kind of hacking he was talking about.
Anyways, it'd be pointless for real hackers to hack AG, since they don't keep any personal information about the users, like credit card numbers and such. They wouldn't have anything to gain.
[quote]could armorgames.com be next on the hit list?

Really? When did a hacker hack AG and get to the high scores? And, did he have like no AP, or did he have more than #1?
Blkasp, if you check through some flash games that have a high scores feature, you'll see some pretty impossible scores. And not all of them use accounts. Such as this hacker on Exit Path, he used some sort of hack to get a time of 00.00 on uniplayer a whole bunch of times. But he doens't have an account on Armor Games.
That said, I don't think Armor Games will be next, there's basically nothing to gain here from hacking. Except maybe some laughs, and that seems like what this group is doing it for.
Has Twitter been hacked yet? If not, then that could be next.
Twitter has been hacked, but it was close to 2 years ago I believe. But it would be a liable option for the hackers. Also Twitter has probably stepped up security because of them, and from the time they first got hacked. I believe they could but it would be very tough.

That's not necessarily true. They(Lulz Security) don't go after sites for personal gain, but for their own entertainment. They have recently taken down plenty of small obscure websites recently by request, so there is really nothing stopping them from taking down AG by request unless they really like the website in which case they might leave it alone(though I can't guarantee that as they have released info on Bethesda and then went on to claim they liked the company only stopping as far as not releasing any personal info on Brink players because of that).

I think this basically sums it up...larger companies tend to store billing information and personal information, which makes them bigger targets to potential hackers.
