Still probably a longer life than the people in Palestine getting herded into areas and then bombed.

With any luck, Israel won't have an endless runway of cash to fund their armed forces forever.

I mean I hope they stop, but they didn't stop with all the bad publicity already, what's another setback.

It is official it's just that it's membership and leadership isn't.

Anonymous is basically just a mask for greyhats to operate under when attacking targets who can backlash more specific groups.

Would not be surprised at all if some anonymous hacks were committed by already known hacker collectives who knew they had something big but wanted to avoid retaliation.

greyhats

I prefer the term "hacker activists" which can include blackhats, greyhats, and sometimes whitehats that get angry enough that, even if they do not actively participate in an attack, they can provide resources of all sorts.

I distinguish Blackhat and Greyhat along the morality of the act itself, rule breaking for noble cause is grey, and for selfish cause is black.

Is there any difference between "the hacker group Anonymous" and "an anonymous hacker group" now?

There never was, all the way back to day one. Any given "operation" may or may not have overlapped in membership. The name is literal, and always has been; but with it comes a set of meanings and tropes (the mask, "we will not forgive, we will not forget, we are legion") that a given actor taking the name can invoke as a call to action for others, or use to simply mask their identity.

I mean it's okay to not know this obscure part of the internet's supposed history.

How are they defending OP in any way in this context and also how the fuck is having a single 'magazine' that's dead and not filled with bot propaganda spam ?
