Re:LulzSec: 50 Days of Lulz statement

Note that the press release was two days ago, after NATO was notified by police. AFAIK, this is the first that Lulzsec has disclosed that the NATO bookstore was hit, which means the police knew before we did. That can't be good for those behind the mask.

Maybe they were seeing how long it would take for the news to come out without their help.
My guess is that they spent a few days trying to see if they can access accounts of anyone important from the NATO dump. The passwords were in plaintext.
They would only release the data to the public once they are done using it.
