Anonymous

Anonymous is classified as a hacktivist group. It originated in 2003 website "4chan." Anonymous strongly opposes Internet censorship and has hacked various government websites over the years along with major security corporations. It also opposes. Anonymous members can be found in public by the wearing Guy Fawkes masks, based off of the movie "V for Vendetta." There plan is to do certain "Operations" by acting anonymously toward a certain goal. Anonymous members are basically unidentified individuals who applied the Anonymous label to themselves. They have been called the "freedom fighters of the Internet" or "anarchic cyber-guerrillas." In 2008, Anonymous' incidents linked to its members has mildly increased. In 2012, "Time Magazine" named Anonymous as one of the most influential groups in the world. Anonymous was posited by "CNN" in 2011 to be one of the three major successors to "WikiLeaks," who was created by Julian Assange. Julian is an Australian hacker that was apart of Anonymous. He is classified as one of the worlds greatest hackers who was arrested in many countries but many countries have held him basically prisoner to use his skills for their own needs. Anonymous can be remembered by the quote "We are anonymous, We are legion, we do not forgive, We do not forget, Expect us." Anonymous has inspired many other hacking groups based off of the main group Anonymous. these hacking groups are as follows "LulzSec," "LulzRaft," and the operation of some of these groups created the movement of "Anti-Sec." Anonymous is a inspirational group for me and most likely other people.I think that these things they do, i feel are funny in some cases to exploit the evil within the government or corrupt organizations. Anonymous is worldwide and the basis of the other branches of hacktivits.
