Anonymous is the most well-known “hacker” of all time, but it is also the most ambiguous. Anonymous is not a single person, but rather a loosely knit group of hackers with no formal membership or hierarchy. Anonymous can be acted upon by anyone.
Anonymous began in 2003 on the 4chan message boards in an unnamed forum. The group is disorganized and loosely focused on the concept of social justice. For example, in 2008, the group took issue with the Church of Scientology and began disabling their websites, lowering their Google search rankings and overloading their fax machines with all-black images. A group of “Anons” marched through Scientology centers around the world in March 2008, wearing the now-famous Guy Fawkes mask. According to The New Yorker, while the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have tracked down some of the group’s more prolific members, the lack of any real hierarchy makes identifying or eliminating Anonymous as a whole nearly impossible.
