Some people are quick to stamp their feet and proclaim Anonymous is some rogue group of deliquent teenagers who wreak havock on innocent people and attack Government websites. While some of that is true to an extent, Anonymous do a lot of good things in the interest of the general public and have been invaluable when it comes to protecting the freedom of the Internet. As shown in this situation, if it weren't for Anonymous nobody would be any step closer to understanding who is behind these Chinese oriented attacks, where and why.


agree, lesson learned: Don't judge/jump to conclusions too quickly.


Well I've always assumed FBI has "Anonymous" groups for a while now, so yeah...
