Today's Webtip: AnonyWas?
Anonymous has been making a lot of headlines recently. THe amorphous internet phenomenon frequently reported on as a hacking group has been extremely active supporting wikileaks, annoying Sony, going after banks and most recently calling for an old-style and fully legal boycot of Paypal.
Unfortunately for the media it's an idea (or moevement, or group) that isn't easy to explain in a 30 second soundbite. The very nature of it also makes it easy to prank journalists and other media types.
So for those of you have been wondering just what the heck it is (or still just have images of Guy Fawkes masks) I found an interesting info page put together at www.irongeek.com It's full of examples of previous exploits, loads of links, and a little bit of analysis. I should point out that this is the perspective form an outsider looking it. Take it (as with any info about this thing) with a grain of salt.
