Anonymous: Shocking Hacking Secrets Compilation (Video)

Research proved that Anonymous hacktivists group is relatively much bigger than you anticipated and become quite popular among people all over the world. News about their existence first became public on social media, with members shown flaunting Guy Fawkes masks. It was all quite fitting, with the group calling themselves Anonymous and wearing such masks in all over their demonstrations.

In an age where government oppression is becoming increasing common, such groups have popped up everywhere. Anonymous is, arguably, the most famous of them. With the activity of such groups largely considered illegal but done in opposition to injustice by authorities as well as their donning such masks, Anonymous members are even considered as vigilantes by people.

BART attack (2011)

BART attack was a repercussion to the shutting down of subterranean cellular services by the company when protestors were looking to organize protests due to BART police shooting an unarmed passenger.

Project Chanology attack (2008)

This was done as Anonymous believed the Church of Scientology was spreading misinformation about Scientology using internet censorship.

One propaganda video was posted on YouTube, for which the Church sued the video website. Anonymous responded with a video of their own, generating 4.6 million views.

Federal attack (2012)

The FBI shut down MegaUpload due to copyright infringement, and Anonymous retaliated with a tit-for-tat attack by shutting down Recording Industry and America and Motion Picture Association of America’s websites. The speed and gravity of the attack was a show of Anonymous’ power and intent.
