"We are
Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. You'll
see us."
This motto is the motto of a group called Anonymous. Anonymous is a group of hacktivists who have no leaders, no spokespersons, and no strategy other than demanding freedom of speech and freedom on the internet.

Anonymous want to attract public attention. Their first event was an operation against Scientology in 2003. They dressed in Guy Fawkes masks.
They are not traditional hackers because they are not only interested in feats of computer hacking, but more by media attention.
Many Anonymous members live in Brazil, the United State, and France.
The group decides via forums on how to launch an operation, and when they are sufficiently numerous, they target a country. Some operations can be initiated by one person. Some may be contradictory, since nothing is centralized.
Countries condemn these actions because it is impossible for the authorities to negotiate with Anonymous since they do not know who is behind the actions.
After a lot of attacks by Anonymous, Christophe Barbier criticized the group on iTele:
Anonymous reacted to this
criticism by trying to show that they are not thieves, that they are
not illegal, that they just have their way of seeing things...
