- wyck 6y agoHere's a better title "Journalist hucksters reinvigorate the fake message that anonymous is back ". I understand how this might get traction on Reddit or Facebook, but Hacker News?
- ASalazarMX 6y agoThe same accounts that tweeted about Anonymous and LulzSec 9 years back are being used, this is not "fake news" by some "journalist hucksters".
- wyck 6y agoThe original anonymous hackers now have children and real jobs. Some random twitter accounts from 9 years ago are not anonymous, one of them was used as a kpop account. Anyone saying anonymous is back is either a dolt or using for political posturing.
