LulzSecurity threats to shutdown Facebook November 5th
http://remingtonsworld.com/profiles/blogs/hackers-threaten-to-shut-down-facebook
A group of anonymous hackers is threatening to shut down Facebook on November 5th of this year.
The group, LulzSecurity, has released a video declaring that Facebook is a threat to people's privacy. It also alleges that Facebook is selling private information to government agencies.
In the video, it says "Kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy".
"Facebook is giving clandestine access to firms to spy on people from all around the world."
"Facebook knows more about you than your family."
"Deleting your Facebook account is impossible. Even if you delete your account, all your personal information stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time."
The group, branded as cyber terrorists, claims responsibility for shutting down the US Central Intelligence Agency's public website, as well as the attack on Sony's PlayStation Network.
The attack on Sony raised the ire of millions of gamers worldwide as the network got shutdown after a massive amount of confidential information was leaked.
In April of this year the “Play Station Network” (PSN) was hacked exposing over 75 million accounts with personal data. Although no illegal credit card activity was detected, consumers were told to change their passwords and private information.

Sony PlayStation Network Shut Down 'Indefinitely' Following Attack
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/26/sony-playstation-network-down-ps3_n_853695.html
LulzSec is believed to have 6-12 members, a couple which are currently being investigated by British police. This group of young hackers have mastered many of the latest forms of Internet Programming including Python. They have already attacked and shut down many government entities, and broadcast stations; like the CIA, FOX, PBS, and SONY PLAYSTATION. I would think that Mark Zuckerberg would probably shut down his network before jeopardizing his accounts. Yet this brings up some important facts:
1- Seeing that Lulz Security has 75,000 infected servers on the Python system; SOMEONE has to be financing them, after all they have been around for a least a year now.
On 24 June 2011, The Guardian released leaked logs of the one of the group's IRC chats, revealing that the core group is a small group of hackers with a leader Sabu who exercises large control over the group's activities. It also reveals that the group has connections, though is not formally affiliated with, Anonymous. Some LulzSec members had once been prominent Anonymous members, including member Topiary.

Anonymous (used as a mass noun) is a group initiating active civil disobedience and spread through the Internet while staying hidden, originating in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan, representing the concept of many online community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, digitized global brain.[2]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)
2- Who still puts up private profile information on Social Networking sites? Perhaps some limited data like: age, city, country, photos, names, etc – but other then that, no financial or business transaction, At least I would hope people are more tech savvy since the evolution of our worlds instant, electronic, communication technology.
3- Although these hackers are powerful, they do these attack's to draw attention to their cause, not get rich.
