(od) Here or there or somewhere? Finding the Cleanup Crew After a Messy Hack Attack by Nicole Perlroth published Nytimes.com December 29, 2011 and in-print on December 30, 2011, on page B1 of the New York edition; regarding computer forensics and Mandiant. 99.109.125.85 (talk) 00:40, 31 December 2011 (UTC) The Stratfor hack is much more than file copies, and their website only came back online Jan 12, 2012. From http://thehackernews.com/2012/01/stratfor-back-online-after-hack-with.html Chief Executive George Friedman said in a message to Stratfor's subscribers: "Early in the afternoon of Dec. 24, I was informed that our website had been hacked again. The hackers published a triumphant note on our homepage saying that credit card information had been stolen, that a large amount of email had been taken, and that four of our servers had been effectively destroyed along with data and backups." As to the post declaring that Anonymous didn't do the Stratfor hack, who is to know who is Anonymous and who isn't. That is an important point to be stressed. (To me Anonymous is more like a wave packet than anything else I can think of to describe it.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArishiaNishi (talk • contribs) 18:38, 12 January 2012 (UTC)  oops, forgot my sig ArishiaNishi (talk) 18:40, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Unsubstantiated claims removed
I reverted recent edits by an anonymous user because they appear to be original research using sources that make no mention of Anonymous and one pastebin.com source which is itself a wholly unreliable source because anyone can create a pastebin file.

Declaration of Revolution

independence hall tea party hack
As far as I know, whoever posted the admin username and password of the independence hall tea party sites never identified themselves as a member of Anonymous.

The source given for this section of the article doesn't quote anyone encouraging people to "Fuck shit up", nor does it mention Anonymous; it does mention 4chan, but Anonymous and 4chan are not one and the same. Homurssui (talk) 02:56, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Academic Resources
I feel that there needs to be a push to incorporate a greater degree of academic resources (peer reviewed) into both the Timeline and (group) page. As it stands, most of the citations are newspaper articles which often provide contrasting and/or misinformed opinions. I have added Halupka & Star's (2011) article to the opening description while maintaining most of the original content. In this way, the page provides a greater exploration of academic content while continuing to highlight the perception of Anonymous as a hackivist community. MrOnionMaster (talk) 23:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Bias Article, that Seems to Paint the illegal Hackers as hero
This article is very Bias, and has ton of original research which is BIAS to Anonymous's view. This Article need a Non Neutral Point of View Tag ASAP.

The Article say "successfully hack a website or successfully defaced a websites' page". Successfully, in who's eyes.

the article states Anonymous actions as being justified, and take their side, then praises the illegal actions taken by the group, even racist actions.

This article need to be cleaned up, and in my honest opinion, remove. It's like a score board to the hacker group, and not all claim can be attributed to the group, tons of story of anonymous taking credit for thing they haven't even done.

I'm putting the NPOV Tag up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.203.36.3 (talk) 11:20, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Sarah Palin email hack was not Anonymous and there's no evidence to prove it
There is ZERO credible evidence in this article, /Project_Chanology, /Sarah_Palin_email_hack, or anywhere that states the user was from Anonymous, and he never claimed to be. In fact you will not find Anonymous mentioned in the subsection of this article, nor will you find both Palin's email breach and Anonymous both mentioned together anywhere in the previous two full articles.

This section should be removed as no proof can be shown to support the supposition that Anonymous gained access to Sarah Palin's personal email in Sept of '08, or that David Kernell was a part of Anonymous. D-railer (talk) 16:05, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Timeline length
This page is quite long. How do others feel about forking off 2011, 2012, and/or 2013? This might also allow individual sections to be fleshed out a bit more, where applicable. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:19, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Need protection!
This article is under attack. --Fitmoos (talk) 21:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Need verification and references
the paragraph need a revision, verification , reliable source, is probably a fake news:

Some news say Within the same span of three hours, Anonymous released multiple documents pertaining to the murder of Princess Diana, the royal family, Jeffery Epstein, Donald Trump, and countless other celebrities, including the affidavits of Trump and Epstein in a case regarding the rape of multiple underage children. The royal family, Trump, Epstein, and other celebrities have been connected to a sex trafficking ring, which Princess Diana knew and had proof of. The royal family had evidence that the Princess was planning to divorce Charles and would, therefore, spill royal secrets, including that of their sex trafficking. A man on his deathbed by the name of John Hopkins, a retired Mi5 operative and hitman for the UK government, confessed to the murder of the Princess, saying that it was a paid hit by the royal family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fitmoos (talk • contribs) 22:02, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 4 May 2022
Hey, recently I've tried to add more content from this source but due to my English skills I keep running afoul of copyright which is quite frustrating. I think there's important information here, could someone take a look?

The contents I'm trying to add to here and Non-government reactions to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine are all about the description of the sites they've hacked, what contents they've posted on their defacement pages (such as the slogan A.S.S.), and then the descriptions of their "post-war settlement solutions".

In other words, just expand on the following, but with wording that will not constitute a copyvio:

''On Cosmonautics Day, which commemorates cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's Vostok 1 mission to space, Anonymous broke into five Russian websites to put up defacement pages with pop up messages such as "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the defenders" and "I find the orcs lack of morality disturbing". The hacking collective also posted videos which featured Star Wars character Darth Vader, Star Wars soundtrack "The Imperial March," the online game Roblox, disco song "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, music video "Fragile", and a performance of Ukrainian national anthem by cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Besides that, Anonymous also proposed a list of "post-war settlement solutions" to be mandated against Russia.''

Furthermore, there are mentions that a particular hacker in the Anonymous movement have compromised systems in China, can you also add more details about that (such as what systems he had compromised) into here as well? Thank you.2607:F938:1000:5:0:0:A96B:9DB6 (talk) 22:23, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
