Trump Lawyer Name Drops Hacker Group 'Lizard Squad' In Viral QAnon Tweets

As President Donald Trump prepared for his final month in office, one of his attorneys L. Lin Wood, who also represents Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, was stoking the QAnon fire for the future. Over the weekend, Wood, one of the attorneys behind Trump's unsuccessful litigation to remain in power following the January 20th inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, continued to tweet about all the alleged pedophiles being harbored by the Supreme Court and the U.S. government.

After tweeting that Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts was allegedly "being blackmailed in a horrendous scheme involving rape & murder of children captured on videotape," L. Lin Wood alleged that "10 of the world's most well-known and 'elite' intelligence agencies" were hacked by the Lizard Squad. The hack resulted in securing of "blackmail files of rape & murder." Wood also claims that the findings were given to actor Isaac Kappy, who committed suicide in 2019.

This blackmail scheme is conducted by members of 10 of world’s most well-known & “elite” intelligence agencies.

One of those groups was hacked by a group known as Lizard Squad. The blackmail files of rape & murder were obtained by this group & copy was provided to Isaac Kappy. https://t.co/9lCAggRrCG

Unless you're a QAnon loyalist, believing that a satanic cabal of pedophiles, cannibals and human traffickers rule the world, the "Lizard Squad" really took over the conversation, with many assuming the tweet meant actual lizard people hacking government databases.

However, some might remember the Lizard Squad as the hacker collective behind several massive DDoS attacks against video game companies in the mid-2010s. In 2014, they knocked on League of Legends, RuneScape, Riot Games and more offline. On Christmas of that year, the Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live that left both offline for most of the day.

The Lizard Squad has been known for other high-profile attacks on foreign countries, such as the time they knocked out North Korea's government/ internet, and celebrities, including a threat to release naked photos of Taylor Swift.

So while the Lizard Squad is a real hacking group, they have not yet weighed in on whether or not there is any validity to Wood's claims. According to Gizmodo, the group no longer exists.
