The Lizard Squad hacking crew appears to have called it quits over the weekend following a high profile assaults on Sony as well as online attacks on Blizzard and Twitch, a broadcast platform for gamers, among others.
The eight-strong group of trickster hackers posted a notice of their intention to throw in the towel on their lizardsquad.com website (and copy on Pastebin here). The notice -Little thieves are hanged, but great ones escape - is full of the sort of braggadocio reminiscent of LulzSec a few years back.
 
We set out on our journey 2 weeks ago with the plan to cause havoc within the gaming community. Our motives varied throughout this adventure.Originally it was to see if we could evade being caught and to experience the raw thrill of anarchy, not being bound to phony laws. We've been called everything from an organized criminal 'gang' to complete assholes, really we are just a bunch of guys with too much free time.
Throughout our journey we met new people, gained new members, learned new things. People tried taking swings at us (and missed). We proved that even though we are little in this very big world, that a small group of friends who work together can cause a lot of havoc without legal repercussions. Today we will be disbanding, behind the green reptiles and other bull**bleep**, we have lives believe it or not, things to do, people to meet.
Goodbye.
