They don't have leaders so does it really matter?

 

[coldmeat]

Don't they claim to have arrested the leaders all the time?

 

[MarkXIX]

Anonymous will post and say "those guys don't work for us" and it will mean nothing.

 

[Blackjack200]

They should change their name to onymous.

Two of the suspects didn't even have internet, but stole local WiFi... I find that hilarious in a way. I'm sure that more savvy people wouldn't be surprised by that, but I just find it kind of ironic.

 

[darkewaffle]

There really aren't apparent leaders (though what goes on behind 'closed doors' on IRC and smaller scale interactions is anyone's guess) but there are only a small handful of them that are anything more than loudmouths. Very few of them have any sort of knowledge or capability to do, well, much of anything.

 

[Bignate603]

I wonder if they'll find anything on these guy's computers that will locate others.

 

[ViviTheMage]

I am very curious to know the ## of people in anonymous. I am curious if this is even a dent in their 'team'.

Hacking groups are alot like terrorists in the sense that small closed groups rarely ever meet or communicate directly with each other. This amounts to basically a cell being captured.


Before the fancies get their panties in a wad I am not calling anon terrorists..

I'm betting the US Govt will be calling them terrorists before too long...

Are you sure anonymous isn't the US Government?!?! :ninja::ninja::ninja:

 

[pyonir]

I don't read it as suspected leaders of Anon...but suspected leaders of a network *within* Spain.

 

[Imp]

lulz

They didn't do something pointless like murder some poor sucker, they effed with billion dollar companies.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Anonymous is a movement, not an organization. They have no leaders.

 

[Jeff7]

7 proxies, dammit. Not 2, not 5, not 6. Seven.

Gotta get the rowdy serfs back in line.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Yes, they have purpose, achieve stated objectives and work within a tight budget. No way in hell are they affiliated with the US government.

Anonymous is a meme/concept that many independent cells follow. That's what makes it adaptive and hard to attack. A hierarchical structured organization is easy prey for law enforcement.

We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
