Unless you were part of Lulzsec, there's no way to know how far reaching they were. The Internet isn't specific to one or two countries after all.
And I'm not really sure if Lulzsec "died" either. There are plenty more able and willing people on IRC. Besides, I doubt any one person is at the helm of this boat to begin with.
There was only a small core group of people inside Lulzsec. They were all arrested except Virus. He's not stupid enough to get caught either in fact he called Sabu being a CI the day he came back online after being busted and started offering people money to break into federal honeypots. This is why Virus is still free and not sitting in the pen
Interesting. So this is basically a collection of cheerleaders with a loud and closely tied handful of "actors". The fact that Virus is free and most others are not leads me to believe, for all their loud talking, most were hopelessly naïve.
intrusion teams that are willing to talk up their hijinks to the press are almost always going down. 30 years worth of busts have left an undeniable pattern - if you mock the investigators, get in the papers more than once, and you're in a cooperative country you're not long for the business.
Skip most of those aspects, and don't steal millions, and you'll probably never have the resources dedicated to you. lulzsec conducted themselves defensively enough for anyone doing data theft and PII to be unlikely to get caught if they weren't making it public. If there is one thing feds do it's form grudges.
