How about, various groups acting independently for their own various reasons, and some of them sometimes claiming the name, and others having it attributed to them?
- krapp 13y agoSo basically they're as real or unreal as Anonymous.
- jlgreco 13y agoThat is exactly what I suspect is going on. Feel like hacking something? Do it, then call yourself "Anonymous" to make sure you get attention for it. Have a new 'hacker group' and want something to give yourselves some credibility? Call yourself "Anonymous". Got hacked and need somebody to blame? Blame it on "Anonymous", who can prove it wasn't? Caught some 'hacker group' and want to make yourself seem impressive? Say you caught the head of "Anonymous". Basically everyone involved loves the idea of there being an "Anonymous" because that concept is so useful to everyone.
- sliverstorm 13y agoEntirely feasible, but of course at that point they pretty much are real, and not a bogey-man.
