What is Anonymous?

For those of you who aren’t aware, Anonymous is a loosely associated hacktivist group. It originated in 2003, representing the concept of many online and offline community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, digitized global brain. They’ve been referred to as a hacker ‘terrorist’ group, and it’s easy to think of them as a group of punk troublemakers, raising hell online. Some have even debated whether their extra-legal protests should be labeled terrorist acts. But, that would overlook some of the genuinely good deeds the group – whose members identify themselves with the Vendetta mask – has done.
