I’m mostly leaning towards “not,” based on what I’m seeing on the wiki list. Certainly nothing that would match the grandiose threats of people claiming to represent “Anonymous.” Which is basically the source of my skepticism - sure, hacks occur all the time, which is why computer security is a thing. But literally anyone can claim to represent Anonymous, so when it’s reported that “Anonymous issued this threat” or “Anonymous did this thing” I just roll my eyes. No, “Anonymous,” the shadowy, secretive cabal (which probably isn’t a thing) didn’t. Some guy did, and called himself “Anonymous.” I haven’t seen much evidence to suggest that “they” are anything but a name some disparate hackers like to assume to create mystique around some pretty basic intrusions into unsecured systems, or simple DoS attacks.
