Anonymous has declared war on the terrorist organization `` Islamic State (ISIL)'' who claims to be the mastermind of the terrorist attacks in Paris, the French capital, the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, the Bank of England in the United Kingdom, the French Bank of France, etc. It is an anonymous hacker group that carries out DDoS attacks against over 20 central banks around the world and acts based on hacktivism .

The rumor that Anonymous has returned started with a single movie . The movie is a symbol of Anonymous after showing a video of an outrageous police officer, a picture of Mr. Floyd killed by a white police officer, and other people who were victims of police murder 'The message from Anonymous to the Minneapolis police. We are trying to expose many of your crimes to the world. We're a horde, look forward.' Guy Fawkes' masked person said. It was.
The notice of attacks on the Minneapolis police by Anonymous has gained a great deal of support, especially among young people, and it seems that some anonymous Twitter accounts have gained millions of new followers. Anonymous fans have set up a server for thousands of people on the communication app Discord, celebrating Anonymous's activities with memes and fiction.
Twitter user @j2ohh, who wants to help Anonymous, tweeted, 'How can I become a member of Anonymous? I just want to help, I just want a hacker to make coffee.' As it is supposed to be retweeted more than once, the support for anonymous related tweets and posts is rapidly increasing on the Internet.

After Anonymous announced a hacking attack against the police in the movie, it is reported that some police were actually hacked. Chicago police scanners were hacked on May 30th and 31st, 2020, and songs such as ' fuck the police, ' the hip-hop group NWA ridicule police, and ' Chocolate Rain, ' a Tay Zonday black discrimination story. Was played in the police station. It is suspected that this is a hack made by Anonymous against the police. At the same time, the Minneapolis Police website went down due to a DDoS attack.
Three more weeks later, on June 16, Anonymous stole 270 GB of confidential documents from more than 200 police agencies, nuclear fusion centers, law enforcement agencies all over the United States, and made it available online. The massive leak, dubbed 'Blue Leaks,' contained little evidence of police fraud. However, the fact that BlueLeaks apparently lacked investigations by federal and Minneapolis law enforcement officers into the police who killed Mr. Floyd and triggered the dissemination of false information about the incident. It has come out. In addition, it was also revealed that law enforcement agencies were monitoring social media accounts that began to protest police after Mr. Floyd's death.

Dale Beran, who has published books on Anonymous, said, 'Until last month, I thought Anonymous had completely declined. But I am surprised that Anonymous is back after Floyd's death. We wanted to understand why it was coming back from the people who made the new Anonymous movie, and it didn't take long to find out why.' It mentions why Anonymous was returning again.
The movie that became a big trigger for returning to Anonymous has a watermark 'anonews.co' in the red frame part. If you fly to this URL, you will reach the news aggregation site with the same name. In addition, this site is operated by a company called Midialab in the UK, and when Mr. Beran contacted the operator of this site, he was able to tell me the contact information of the creator of the movie. ..
Beran seems to think that it will lead to Russia's Internet troll because it was
Vibes says he's worked as a party promoter in lands such as Baltimore and Philadelphia for 10 years, and his work experience honed his anti-cultural thoughts and eventually became an activist.
When Mr. Vibes criticized the police's cruelty on the Internet, he received a message from Midialab in the UK that he wanted to support the activity by agreeing to Anonymous's policy, and the movies and articles posted on anonews.co It seems that he was asked to make it. Vibes is responsible for almost all the production of the movies and posts posted on the anonews.co Facebook page , he said, 'most of the time, we get news that an unspecified number of people may be just interested in. It covers banking systems and corruption, and I've put together a movie with general feelings about those topics and I'll post them a few times a month.' In addition, it seems that the man wearing the mask on the movie is not Mr. Vibes, but reused the video related to anonymous in the past for editing.
Vibes stressed himself as 'a journalist who reflects the emotions of anonymous members on social media and chat rooms rather than hackers,' and the purpose of the anonyws.co Facebook page is to make anonymous messages publicly available. It is to be published.
Beran, who talked to Vibes, said he was worried about whether Anonymous really came back. The reason is that the above-mentioned hacking to the police etc. is mainly ``hacking by anonymous'' in rumor base, and the movie that became the basis of rumors that Anonymous came back is, so to speak, supports Anonymous instead of Anonymous It was revealed that it was created by Mr. Vibes who is a person like 'fan'.
However, in the first place, anonymous is a decentralized hacktivist group in which a small group cooperates for hacking etc. for one purpose (such as exposing the fraud of the Minneapolis police), but there is no ``member'' etc. Is characterized by being able to carry out activities with the banner 'Anonymous'. Therefore, just like anyone can hold a pirate flag and be a pirate, anyone can become anonymous if they act under the name 'Anonymous.'
Also, Mr. Beran seems to have had the opportunity to talk with multiple hackers who are active as anonymous since June, and everyone said that the activity of anonymous was actually reactivating. is. In addition, Anonymous has begun to return to the chat room where he gets a new purpose for his activity and discusses his policy, after receiving a movie created by Vibes, according to a person who provided information to Beran. That. Since Anonymous is a leader without a leader, the members will discuss what they actually do in this chat room.
In the first place, the origin of Anonymous is the existence of Mr. Aubrey Kotor, who in the middle of the 2000s self-proclaimed '
Around 2007, when Mr. Kotor was 20 years old, a man who will work at the Canadian Security Agency, an agency equivalent to the American CIA, will come to his house. The man asked Kotor, 'Have you ever wanted to use your abilities against al-Qaeda and terrorist organizations?' In response, Mr. Kotor said after a lot of thought, 'Do you want me to attack the forums on the Internet?' Incidentally, Mr. Kotor decided to consider the Canadian Security Agency's offer, but he has finally declined.
It seems that Kotoru and others Anonymous at the time were taking a method to attack users of online games and individuals in chat rooms collectively, but multiple services such as 4chan are prohibited to attack in groups by trolls As a result, Anonymous will eventually move to 420chan created by Mr. Kotor. Along with that, Mr. Kotor became the de facto leader of Anonymous, and Mr. Kotor himself came to play that role.
It was Kotor and others who began to wear the mask of Guy Fawkes, which became a synonym for Anonymous, because he was simply a fan of the movie ' V for Vendetta '.
Meanwhile, Fox News reports Anonymous as if it were a terrorist. Until then, anonymous members had been doing hacking as a kind of entertainment, but this report seems to have triggered the understanding that the entertainment had attracted the attention of the media and government.
Then, in 2007, Anonymous spends most of the year harassing the Neo Nazi believer Hal Turner . Anonymous at that time targeted Turner not because he was active as a hacktivist at the time, but because it was simply a target. However, after thoroughly hacking Turner, it was discovered that he was an FBI informant, and the attack was over.
Anonymous, looking for Turner's next target, turned his attention to the Scientology Society, which has been known as an enemy of hackers and activists seeking information freedom since the early 1990s. Inspired by news that reported Anonymous as if it were a terrorist by Fox News, a person who was a member of Anonymous claims that 'We have been monitoring the Scientology Society for many years'. Announcement. Then this movie spreads through word of mouth, and it develops into a big movement that protest demonstrations against Scientology occur in major cities around the world. At the Scientology protest in New York, almost all of the hundreds of demonstrators wore Guy Fawkes masks.
Kotor, who was leading the activity of Anonymous at one time, said that the faction was divided into Anonymous acting as a 'vandalism' and Anonymous acting as a 'hacktivist', and eventually lost the power to control the entire Anonymous. The subsequent activities by Anonymous are widely known, and in cooperation with Julian Assange's WikiLeaks, we will leak confidential documents in the United States and gain global recognition.
In addition, the current anonymous is becoming more vigilant than ever, it is no longer communicating with Internet Relay Chat , and it makes full use of end-to-end encrypted chat clients such as Wire, Gajim, and Signal. I'm taking it. Also, social media uses Twitter, and they believe other platforms aren't enough to protect their privacy.
