#OPMexico

The Government of Mexico engaged in a disgraceful and cruel operation against stray dogs. Their excuse for this was the death of 5 people in Mexico, who were thought to have been attacked by stray dogs. Although investigations up to now are negative, the Government of Mexico has decided to capture and detain all stray animals throughout Mexico. Where if the animals are not claimed within 72 hours they will be executed. As the Mexican Government denies to look into the real problem. With millions of homeless dogs wandering the streets starving. They never look at what the main problem is. The dogs are often rounded up by city officials and euthinized by electrocution, with nearly 20,000 dogs per month. The Mexican government pretended to be blind to the dog-fighting, and high rates of puppy sellers in the country. They have decided to murder the animals, instead of sterilizing and vaccinating them how they should be treated. Anonymous planned to hack the Government of mexicos' websites to protest what there doing and put and end to this animal cruelty throughout Mexico and what they are doing to these defenseless and starving animals. This is inhumane what Mexicos' Government has been doing and wants to continue throught the years. They will be stopped Anonymous was outraged and took action with the launch of #OPMexico.

#OPIsrael

This Operation partaken by Anonymous was for the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called “Occupied Territories” by the Israel Defense Force. This certain insane attack and threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same. But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all Internet and other telecommunications into and out of Gaza they crossed a line in the sand. As the former dictator of Egypt Mubarack's plan was to shut down the Internet. Anonymous was furious by this and took action to the IDF and government of Israel. They warned the government to cease and desist from their terror upon the innocent people of Palestine or they would. Anonymous told the people of Israel that they will fight for their rights and help them stay connected to the Internet while being able to transmit their experiences to the world. Anonymous launched #OpIsrael and leaked downloads that would aid people in which would contain instructions in Arabic and English that would aid them when their government, on their threat attempt to shut down the people of Israels Internet connection. The download also contained useful information on IDF surveillance, and some other useful information. Anonymous took control of the Pakistainian Governments website and gained information to use against them if they went through with their plan of shutting down of their internet server.

Milw0rm

This Hactivist group Milw0rm conducted hacks for political reasons, which in some cases is similar to the group "Anonymous." This includes inserting an "anti-nuclear weapon" riot on its hacked websites. The group's motto is "Putting the power back in the hands of the people." I am not to familiar with their work because there a smaller name that is just another group once again based off of the idea of Anonymous. These hacktivists Partaken in the Mission "BARC" which was believed to be teenagers behind the operations were classified as a "threat" to national security. There main message was they were "anti-nuclear" testing protesters. They hacked countries websites such as Britain, Turkish and other countries around the world. Some see them as the bad guy in the situation when technically there just expressing freedom of speech, and trying to stop nuclear testing that could potentially lead to World War 3. They hacked emails that were government officials, but their emails didn't not contain any confidential information and they did not destroy anything within the files. The CIA believed that the attacks originated in either Turkey or India , but they are not sure enough to come to a conclusion. If they wanted to they could have sent malware from a Indian email to a Pakistanian email that could have been bad news for South Asian countries.

LulzSec

Lulz Security, also known as "LulzSec," is another computer hacker group that has overtaken high profile attacks, including "Sony" in 2011, also for taking a CIA website offline. LulzSec' member who goes by the named " Sabu." This man was arrested and with a plea deal he made with authorities has helped law enforcement track down other members of the organization. At least four members of LulzSec were arrested in 2012 with the help of Sabu. LulzSec consisted of seven members; LulzSec split up for a short period of time. It wasn't too long when they were back at it with attacks on newspapers, and exploiting false information regarding the death of Rupert Murdoch. The group later on met with other hacking groups such as, the most popular group Anonymous and a few others which started their mission of "Operation AntiSec." They might not be as popular as their hacktivist brethren Anonymous, but are just as equal in skill in their operations. Members of LulzSec could be apart of anonymous. Unfortunately no one will ever know unless they mess up somewhere, forget to do a step and get traced. This hacking group branched off of the idea held by Anonymous, in which is still growing in popularity as years pass.

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.
