I never knew about these people, but find it extremely fascinating.
They call themselves activists and hacktivists. Reading a bit on what they stand for and what they do, seems pretty cool. Reminds me of Mr.Robot!
Here is a link to their site: http://anonhq.com/

Hehehe! Nah , I just think I have been under a rock =DReally? I've known them ever since they "took on" the church of scientology back in 2008...am I just old?
Filthy camper!
yeah and then there was that whole "Occupy Wall Street" thingReally? I've known them ever since they "took on" the church of scientology back in 2008...am I just old?
Well, they've been around since ~2004; However I'm yet to see something really awe inspiring from them for the most part it seems to be "hijack some low hanging fruit and then DDoS the crap out of someone" type hacktivism. I'd be more impressed if they actually get information on ISIS, hand it over to the French government and get a metric shit ton of bombs dropped on ISIS members and strongholds.
On a related note, the hackers I'm worried about are not the ones that run around with a "hey look at me and what I've done" type hackers. It's the ones you don't ever hear from, the ones that don't DDoS or set up botnets. Those are the ones I really worry about.
That's very True! Apparently they are busy targeting ISIS and all their social media accounts. But like you said, some solid intercepted information would be amazing
Oh Anon has gotten up to all sorts of "fun" for a few years now them and LulzSec before they gotten taken down, also Im pretty sure they are the main proprietors of the LOIC

Yeah, but if you read their "events"
Users signed up to the Habbo site dressed in avatars of a black man wearing a grey suit and an Afro hairstyle and blocked entry to the pool, declaring that it was "closed due to AIDS," flooding the site with Internet slang, and forming swastika formations...took Turner's website offline......DDoS attacks against Church of Scientology websites......assaulted an epilepsy support forum run by the Epilepsy Foundation of America. JavaScript code and flashing computer animations were posted with the intention of triggering migraine headaches and seizures in photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epileptics......Anonymous users flooded the SOHH forums, which were then shut down......posting a screenshot of his sending an email to a friend of Palin's informing her of the new password on the /b/ thread. However, he did not blank out the password in the screenshot......home address, phone number, and other personal information were leaked on the internet......took down the prime minister's website with a distributed denial-of-service attack......distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) on Australian Government websites......Facebook page was flooded with image macro and flames...etc etc etc...it's all basically just flood with content or flood with traffic stuff...nothing to see here move along now...multiple DDoS attacks against anti-piracy groups and law firms...
I didn't find their website interesting for being the most famous hacking group atm.
