Anonymous is a decentralized international activist and hacktivist collective. They are known for coordinated cyber attacks against government and corporate websites to protest censorship and corruption. While their identity is unknown, they use a distinctive visual rhetoric of Guy Fawkes masks in online videos and public protests to represent their decentralized and leaderless organization.
