    The problem with trying to pin down Anonymous is that it’s not REALLY an organized group. There is a core of high level hackers that interact with one another, but it’s closer to a movement than a singular organization.

      Local AQMD requires 6 or more people during off hours to call before they will dispatch an inspector. A lighter than daytime crew, large area to cover and contributions to local politicians and school district prevent any meaningful investigation. Most offgassing is done after business hours. The smelter is directly adjacent to a junior high school. An indoor gymnasium was even constructed with donations from the foundry. The odor is strongly metallic and slightly chlorinated. I have canvassed the area and neighbors report the issue when asked, but not really motivated to call or too busy to notice. Complacency is what this company is depending on to continue operating.

    • @gerade-aus

      As an IT specialist, my honest best advice is to store as much private info in paper files offline.
      For voting, in person, paper ballots with purple thumb ink.
      Perfect security is impossible, especially if the software requires maintenance or logins that people often forget, so someone needs to gain access on a locked system, hence backdoors and keys for the IT specialists. So there's always a built in vulnerability besides any accidental ones. 😎👍

      In computing, a crash, or system crash, occurs when a computer program such as a software application or an operating system stops functioning properly. So, a successful DDoS attack does leads to a crash. And nowadays it is not so hard if you have money to do it, there are giant farms made for you to rent and attack an specific target with more than 100 million requests per second

      The system is still functioning, it is processing each request just as it was programmed to do. So I'll hold true to my original comment, A DDoS attack doesn't necessarily mean a service has crashed.

    I used to be part of Anonymous while ago. We were a movement that was structured by a process, we were never an organisation. I still don't know anyone by names, we all used username, P2P channels, we had to collaborate on tasks that we believe they helped humanity in general and that was the only common thing. We voted on many things to avoid any bias in many decisions and that's pretty much it from my experience. I used to be part of operations in WikiLeaks about the Arab spring, the Israeli occupation, and US elections.

      I don"t know if you are lying, or if you were lied to, but there is no "process" inside anonymous or anything like that. Anonymous is a descentralized movement, the groups that call themselves anonymous can have a process and even a hierarchy, but they are only a part of the movement, there was lots of well know groups that called themselves anonymous, some good, others not so much, and there always will be since anyone can say "I am an anonymous". Nowadays, most people who calls themselves anonymous is just a script kid, lammer, or a troll. Big groups who make large data breaches and use the name anonymous do that because it is a great marketing strategy, and it is no secret to anyone, after all, if your company is being attacked by a group who call themselves anonymous and you are not an expert, you are most likely to pay what they are charging you, because it is a "group" that you know that have made great things before. But probably it is not event them who are attacking you, and just a bunch of indians making scams in small companies

"We are Anonymous" is a call to action more than anything. Now you're Anonymous, now you're not. That's why enforcement will never be able to "catch everyone".

      Why? If they hacked into your computer and exposed your life would you feel the same? They exposed serious state secrets, that's why they are called secrets. If they hack into a criminal org. it's fine with me, but who are these young kids to determine who needs hacking?

    Anonymous is anyone who truly cares about freedom in my opinion. That doesn't mean you have to actively participate in their campaigns, just being a supporter is enough. They wont find them because it could be any/all of of us.

    The thing about the FBI letting Stratfor get hacked... it's a valid point. The other side of the coin is that if they had prevented the hack, then fewer Anonymous members would have been vulnerable to prosecution... which, realistically, means that they (Anonymous members) would have wandered off and found another target. Or come back at Stratfor some other time. So, as the saying goes, the FBI gave the Anonymous members enough rope to hang themselves. I'm no cheerleader for many of the things the FBI has done, but from their perspective, the Stratfor thing was a rational decision.
    Ultimately, the question in this type of situation is whether or not society wants police to be able to take action on someone they *think* is going to do something, or do we want the police to wait until someone has *actually* done that thing?
