Can anyone give me any info on the group called Anonymous?

Question

I read a magazine that did a few pages on this group. I would like to find out more about them. I like what they stand for.

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(...

they also have a website, anonymousgroup.com, but it's closed right now

Answer 2

Anonymous stand for nothing. They are a group of troublemakers centered on the Random board of the 4-chan site (also known as /b/). Their stated goals are to annoy people and cause as much trouble as they can.

Their current anti-scientology campaign is lasting longer than their usual raids because people are paying attention to them.

Their previous actions have included massive spam and hacking attacks on child-oriented sites with the goal of replacing images on the sites with hard core pornography and displaying animations designed to cause seizures on support group sites for epileptics.

They are a large group of low-brow chat-speaking, easily amused individuals dedicated to idiocy.
