Psh. They have no goals other than basically, getting back at the bullies who made fun of them back in high school (or in some cases, are still making fun of them in high school). Having other people be scared of and by them is very obvious

How are Anonymous's typical shenanigans (dumping user databases and posting millions of people's personal data online in an attempt to "shame" the site owner) not aimed directly at civilians? It's like rigging the elevator cables in a build

Salt. Seriously. A big, long, gnarly-looking salt. Preferably a unique salt per user. Really, even just that is sufficient, even if stored right next to the hash. It means doing a bruteforce/dictionary attack one user at a time rather than
