We Are Anonymous
(Author) Parmy OlsonIn January 2012, the hacker collective Anonymous brought down the FBI website. In 2011, LulzSec, a sister organisation, broke into and blocked computer systems at VISA, Mastercard and PayPal. The groups have infiltrated the networks of totalitarian governments in Libya and Tunisia. They have attacked the CIA and NATO. Today, governments, big businesses and social acivists are waking up to the true power of the internet, and realising that the hacker is someone to treat with deadly seriousness. This is the story of a hive mind, of a community connected across the globe who can be mobilised to extraordinary effect. Moving from early attacks to the arrests of 2012 and trials of spring 2013, We Are Anonymous offers a gripping, adrenaline-fuelled narrative drawing upon extensive research and hundreds of conversations with the hackers themselves.
