I was not involved in LulzSec as I intelligently backed out of black hat operations when the Obama administration came to power. I saw FBI involvement in the Chans and informant-creating techniques being deployed and kept out of all of them. Instead, I focused on social engineering instead of zero day hunting.

Wesley James Earl Bailey, the greatest ambulance chaser of our times, is not given enough credit for being such a blatantly and absurdly obvious honeypot. Sometimes, it takes the deployment of a bad plea deal to get the rest of a community to realize how completely compromised they are.
The Stratfor leaks were useful, as they showed how miserably unprepared state-of-the-art praetorians were in the face of the subsequent conflict domains.
The only way "out" of organized targeting is to act as the lure. Having eyes and energy on you means you control their flow and their resource allocation, too. Have people you don't like? Create stories and weave the perception about their intimidate involvement with your secret projects and the gangstalkers will go after your enemies free of charge.
You can't live in paranoia in the era of omnisurveillance. Foes targeting you means foes don't have all the information they need, which means you control what info they need to focus on, which controls their actions, which turns them into your servants.
Good luck.
