Re: Anonymous & Georgia

Somebody mentioned something about empty threats in the previous thread. Here’s your answer on that.

More stories from back in the day: A Tale of Two Anons, with questions for further discussion

Picture yourself in these two situations, and think about what you would do. These are real things that happened, though not necessarily to me, and it's possible I've got some of the details wrong. Neither of the forums mentioned is reddit.

Scenario A

The year is nineteen-dickety-two 2011. You're one of the administrators of an online Anonymous forum where people share news and plan ops. Recently one of your co-admins -- I'll call him Anon A -- has been acting weird -- picking fights with other activists, changing forum and server settings for no apparent reason, and generally being obnoxious. You and the other admins are trying to decide what to do. Before you can make a decision, he takes over the forum, deletes content, and doxes many of its users. Now the users are angry at you, and worried they'll get in trouble for their Anonymous activities. There's also news coverage of this episode that's very unflattering to Anonymous.

Scenario B

The year is nineteen-dickety-two 2012. There's another Anonymous forum, previously in friendly competition with the one described above, which is run by one person. The guy running it -- I'll call him Anon B -- is smart and technologically skilled. He gives good advice about activism and other things, and makes himself useful. You worry that if he steps away from Anonymous, Anons won't be able to communicate or plan ops as effectively.

BUT -- you suspect that Anon B is an undercover law enforcement agent. No proof, just circumstantial evidence. You've guessed correctly about such things before, and found that warnings often go unheeded.

ALSO BUT -- you've never noticed him trying to entrap anyone, or pressure people into risky behavior. You wonder if maybe he's only going after people sharing CSAM (which was more common in Anonymous circles in those days) or just monitoring things to make sure no one's planning a terror attack, and you'd be OK with him doing those things. Or maybe he's working with LE and helping Anonymous simultaneously, which has happened.

Questions for discussion:

  1. If we assume that Anon B was undercover LE, who do you think was more harmful to Anonymous overall, Anon A or Anon B?

  2. Any guesses on why Anon A might have been acting weird?

  3. Any suggestions for what Anon A's co-admins should have done when he started acting erratically? Or even before that? And what they should do afterwards?

  4. Would you tell anyone your suspicions about Anon B? Why or why not?

  5. Bonus info. and question: recently, a former FBI agent who investigated Anonymous mentioned something in a podcast that sounded like he might be confirming your suspicions about Anon B. Do you tell anyone now, more than a decade later? Why or why not?

Looking forward to hearing your answers. After some others have replied, I'll chime in with my thoughts (might be a few days from now).

The US took control of Anonymous in 2012

"The 2012 arrests relied on the help of a key informant, Hector Monsegur, aka "Sabu," who was caught and then cooperated with the FBI. The fear that one of their own could turn them in has sowed distrust within the hacking collective, according to Berglas."

Several leaders were arrested and interrogated by the FBI, CIA, and Interpol between 2012 and 2013. These were founding members and high level contributors. While there is still a collective calling itself Anonymous, the original collective of hactivists were overtaken by government agencies and is used to spy on the dark web, or to target other state players.

I feel like this was quickly swept under the rug, and a decade later, most people have forgotten.

Hello! I have created 2 subreddits in Anon's Favor!

r/We_Are_Anonymous is seeking members!

r/YoutubeRebellion is also seeking members!

The philosophy of Anonymous offers insight into a long-standing political question that has gone unanswered with often tragic consequences for social movements: what does a new form of collective politics look like that wishes to go beyond the identity of the individual subject in late capitalism?

Whats the deal with the youtube channel called "anonymous official"

Why does the channel that called themself the "official anonymous yt channel" seem to be so republican, while also being sponsored by Ground News???? I know that anon is not centralized, and there is no "official" anything, I'm not stupid... I just want to know what the deal is with that...

As anonymous is said to be decentralized. Isn't it possible that they have opposing views and may turn against each other?

Can I be anonymous? Definitely can! Can I oppose other member whom intentions I disagree with? Definitely can! Internal conflicts?

Again, I'm not anon member, I'm just intrigued.

Netflix doc about Anonymous and related events/culture - The Antisocial Network

Traiiler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK_C54Q_9QY

Also yes hi I'm alive (and very prominent in this film!)

I got raided by feds for the Epik breach back in 2022 and had to rebuild my life, hence my general absence from the internet. Doing a lot better (very good 6 figure job, I'm happy, just generally Things Are Really Good Now). I mention this because the last thing they filmed with me was getting evicted from my apartment a week after the raid and I don't know yet if it made the final cut.

Anyway. Yeah. Hi guys.

Also feds still have all my stuff and I don't know if I'll catch charges at some point, but hey.

Did Anonymous hack police in uk?

This channel still posts but no hacks just information about boring stuff. But I have always wondered if they actually hacked UK police.

Can anyone here confirm or deny?

about a new group

Hi i want to create an organization like Anonymous, I want to revive the attempts and purposes, they were a great inspiration, I saw a text where the user says that they "grew" and abandoned their old functions, and that is a shame.

What happened to anonymous hacker group? Where are they now?

I've recently watched the Vice documentary about bringing down Hunter Moore. The anonymous hacker group was very much active in the 2010s what happened to them? Where are they now? Are they any recent activities that they have done? Do they even have a social media?

I know you don’t actually join but I remember a few years back Anonymous gave people on 4chan a question. Then it was deleted. Can I try a question?

What is Anonymous to you?

Firstly, it's paramount to comprehend that each member of Anonymous articulates solely for themselves, not on behalf of others or the collective entity. Should you express interest in affiliating with Anonymous, understand that there is no formal induction process. By merely establishing a connection to the internet, you are immersing yourself in its vast, intricate ecosystem of information, both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Anonymous is not a specific group to subscribe to, be it hackers or otherwise. Rather, it is a philosophy, for some a way of life, centered around emancipating humanity from the clutches of avarice.

If your aim is to gain deeper knowledge about Anonymous, exercise extreme caution. Certain individuals and organizations claim to represent 'Anonymous', establishing channels and websites, with their primary objective being financial gain. No 'official' site, channel, or profile that purports to represent Anonymous exists. Any entity making such an assertion should be viewed with immediate suspicion, as they are likely leveraging the Anonymous moniker for self-enrichment through deceptive practices such as clickbait. A genuine member of Anonymous does not reap financial benefits from any actions executed in the name of Anonymous.

Anonymous does not strive to shape your thought process to conform with its own. The overarching objective of Anonymous is to foster independent thought.

So, how one can join Anonymous?

Just curious. Anonymous is one of the anon activist groups that makes me think that himanity is not completely rotten to it's core. And it's interesting for me how they recruit people and keep everything they do secret
