Dissident members of the internet hacktivist group Anonymous, tired of what they call the mob’s “unpatriotic” ways, have provided law enforcement with chat logs of the group’s leadership planning crimes, as well as what they say are key members’ identities. They also gave them to us.
The chat logs, which cover several days in February immediately after the group hacked into internet security firm HBGary’s email accounts, offer a fascinating look inside the hivemind’s organisation and culture.
