Anonymous! We Are Legion! Full Documentary Hacktivists Story
"We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us."
No longer just an adjective in the English language, "Anonymous" is now also used to
refer the countless members of Internet subculture who choose to protect their identities from
the world. Just about everyone has felt the effect of Anonymous' presence online and off.
From the net's ubiquitous lolcats that can has cheezburger or Rick Astley at the Macy's Thanksgiving
Day Parade, the mass of nameless, faceless computer users known collectively as Anonymous are responsible
for these social phenomenon. More interestingly, Anonymous has also been responsible for raids,
invasions, activism, protests, and public defamation, via both legal and illegal means,
with both good and malevolent intentions.
The idea of remaining anonymous on the Internet has been a topic of debate for nearly two
decades, but in recent years, imageboards like 4chan and Futaba 2chan alongside wikis
and forums like Encyclopedia Dramatica have proven themselves breeding grounds for users
with a dangerous sense of unity and ability to willingness to make a difference in the
world around them. Often, Anonymous' goal is to cause as much mischief as is possible
without causing real harm. Cases include mass [vulgar] posting on sites such as the anti-profanity
"No Cussing Club" and inciting fear on Oprah's talk show. For the most part, these practical
jokes are not much different than your 8th grade friends prank calling the teacher, just
on
a much larger scale.
But there is great power in numbers. Under the blanket of modern technology, it seems that
members of Anonymous consider themselves masked anti-heros. There are countless examples of
how Anonymous has pulled together to cause real harm. For one, Anonymous was credited
with an attack on Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account last year.
After discovering the password, a user posted it along with screenshots of personal photos
and emails to 4chan. Since, they have been posted and re-posted to the point that they are publicly available
online and
can be found with a simple Google image search. The culprit, David Kernell a.k.a. Rubico,
was easily discovered because of several mistakes he made when bragging
to posters on 4chan.
