Anonymous is a loosely associated hacking organization formed on 4chan to represent many online users as a digital global brain. They oppose censorship and surveillance, shutting down government websites while wearing Guy Fawkes masks. Commander X provides interviews but claims to be a "peon"; Anonymous has no ranks or leaders. They use DDoS attacks through LOIC botnets to target sites, achieving hacks of government sites and Scientology while leaking personal details of those they oppose.
