(5,214 posts)I think you are missing the point of Anonymous. It is a call to the connected and able youth all across the globe. It is people such as these that the draconian laws are put into place by the governments to try to stop such cracking; the attempt to tie IP addresses to a person's name, getting ISPs to give up this info WITHOUT warrants. I cannot even mention what Homeland Insecurity may have up its sleeve via secret laws that are hidden within the Patriot Act, the ones we have been warned about by various politicians recently.
Just by going to sites such as;

reading the comments you get the sense of the pervasiveness of the sheer numbers of crackers who are involved. There is NO one group or person who is behind Anonymous.
Check out the IRC networks for another glimpse into the hatred these individuals have for the way the world is going.
BTW, the above link is to a page where the clients of Strafor are listed. Take a look at #s 3992 and 3993; Yum Brands. That's right, every time you get a pizza from Pizza Hut, a burrito from Taco Bell or a wing from the Colonel, you contribute to the problem.
What I find telling is a list of about 20 US universities that are listed.
Another interesting part of the list is about 20 phone numbers. I wonder if anyone would answer if called? I am sure by now those numbers have been canceled but imagine the fun some crackers would have had...
