cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving
behind--we hope--inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval,
disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate,
even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone,
somewhere. Anywhere." (You can read the complete text of the statement
below.)

The group also linked to a final cache of stolen information, which,
according to a report in the International Business Times, includes data
from AT&T and AOL, among others. Twitter user @Complex posted a link to
a screenshot purportedly from the data dump, which shows what looks like
a defaced U.S. Navy civilian-careers Web page (see below). LulzSec had
said Thursday, after leaking what it called sensitive documents from the

goods" on Monday.
