Why is this on the frontpage of HN?

This group abused a Wordpress plugin exploit that let users get access to Wordpress accounts. (See here: http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/21/wordpress-org-possibly-hack... )

LulzSec is certainly still up and at it. (See their Twitter, they're DDoSing Brazil: https://twitter.com/#!/LulzSec )

So... what's the news? What's the story?

If you read the text they announce they have LulzSec members personal info (name/pic/address) and will release everything soon. Not just a personnal site defaced. But I agree this has nothing to do in HN front page.
I'll believe it when I see it.
