    As a veteran, these guys seem like they’re LARP’ing. Any group that runs ops should stay as low key as virtually possible. Even with blurred faces and nicknames these guys can easily be identified by other organizations and enemies. If 4chan can find a flag in the middle of nowhere by just watching video then trust me these guys can be tracked and traced.

Constellis, from their website, seems to be a conglomerate of different security companies. So in a way they did defunct just come back under a different company.
