something as Anonymous, then Anonymous did itAnybody can join it
and act under its secretive umbrella. Normally, somebody posts an
idea for a campaign on Anonymous chat rooms and if enough people
support it, the group takes it on.The ones behind Operation Sony
started denying everything when FBI and Homeland security was put
on the caseThey were afraid they were going to get caught A few
operators disappeared.NowAnonymous planned a third major attackThe
hackers claim they currently have access to some of Sony's
servers.
