SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Anonymous is not so anonymous anymore.
.
The computer hackers, chat room denizens and young people who comprise the
loosely affiliated Internet collective have increasingly turned to
questionable tactics, drawing the attention of the FBI, the Department of
Homeland Security and other federal investigators.
.
What was once a small group of pranksters has become a potential national
security threat, federal officials say.
.
The FBI has carried out more than 75 raids and arrested 16 people this
year in connection with illegal hacking jobs claimed by Anonymous.
.
Since June, the Department of Homeland Security has issued three
"bulletins" warning cyber-security professionals of hacking successes and
future threats by Anonymous and related groups, including a call to
physically occupy Manhattan's Wall Street on Sept. 17 in protest of
various U.S. government policies.
.
San Francisco police arrested more than 40 protesters last month during a
rowdy demonstration organized by Anonymous that disrupted the evening
commute. The group called for the demonstration after the Bay Area Rapid
Transit system shut off it cell service in San Francisco stations to quell
a planned protest over police shooting on a subway platform.
.
"Anonymous' activities increased throughout 2011 with a number of
high-profile attacks targeting both public and private sector entities,"
one of the bulletins issued last month said.
.
Some members of the group have also called for shutting down Facebook in
November over privacy issues, although other Anonymous followers are
disavowing such an attack underscoring just how loosely organized the
group is and how problematic it is to police.
.
"Anonymous insist they have no centralized operational leadership, which
has been a significant hurdle for government and law enforcement entities
attempting to curb their actions," an Aug. 1 Homeland Security bulletin
noted. "With that being said, we assess with high confidence that
Anonymous and associated groups will continue to exploit vulnerable
publicly available Web servers, websites, computer networks, and other
digital information mediums for the foreseeable future."
.
Followers posting to Twitter and chatting in Internet Relay Channels
insist there are no defined leaders of Anonymous and that it's more of a
philosophy than a formal club, though a small group of members do the most
organizing online.
