That is kind of why I asked.
What are you so proud of them for doing again?
Anonymous counter-intelligence operations have uncovered evidence of an effort by Bank Of America (BoA) to disrupt both Wikileaks and Anonymous. Details of BoA's involvement began emerging on February 8th, 2011, during Anonymous' Operation #HBGary.
Among the emails retrieved from HBGary, Anonymous uncovered communications between Bank of America's legal representation, HBGary, Palantir, and BericoTechnologies detailing efforts to weaken Wikileaks through misinformation and targeted cyber attacks.
In the proposal to be presented to Bank of America, representatives from the three security companies outlined strategic operations against Wikileaks and its supporters, including psy-ops and cyber attacks against the Wikileaks infrastructure and its supporters.
According to them, Barr and the same data intelligence firms also developed plans for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which would allow them to “undermine their political opponents, including ThinkProgress, with a surreptitious sabotage campaign.” To make matters worse, the plans included families and children.
Crowdleaks also broke the news of HBGary’s MAGENTA project, which had the company developing a type of Windows rootkit that was said to be undetectable and nearly impossible to remove.
In addition to the rootkit development, Crowdleaks reported on the discovery of Stuxnet binaries in Barr’s email, and decompiled much of the source code for public release.
Hackers Are Everywhere. Panic!
I think the number of recent hacks and the amount of news coverage on these attacks is suspicious. Could they be false flag events to help the government regulate the Internet?
First of all, there is no real outbreak of hacking. None of this is new. It’s just that, for some reason, the media has decided to get on the bandwagon, and now not a day goes by without some sort of hacking story. And, of course, we have to have our hacking “bad guys.” This means Anonymous, 4Chan, LulzRaft and LulzSec, among others. You can go into the sociology of these groups on your own time. You can research hacktivism and Lulz for starters.
In short, nice story bro.

Ok tell me what have they done? Because all i can see is them adding fuel to the fire for the people who want to implement more censorship of the internet and even a whole new internet a more "secure" internet. Unless they actually do some constructive- hacking there just hurting the fight in the long run.

by attacked what do you mean? give some examples. i want some proof because all i'm seeing is anon attacked us corp this, and us news that, and us bank that, and company this, and credit card that, and little business people. i can't even make an internet forum without it being hacked in less than 12 hours, particularly if its to support a business idea. i'm not even allowed to earn money now.
I didn't do anything, I am not in anon, I'm just a casual observer. And if the internet gets shut down in the US, then I'm sure Anon would only be too pleased to lend a hand in overthrowing your corrupt goverment too. (I'm hoping that they can make time for the UK, so we can have our day)
