Between 2010 and 2011 so far had a lot of news related to hacker attacks and cyber-activism in general. Anonymous was one of the stakeholder groups in much of the news, and for this reason the main security agencies stan world and putting an eye on potential members .

Hours ago it was learned that the FBI had arrested 16 people , allegedly affiliated with the team behind the face mask of Guy Fawkes, in California, New Jersey and Florida. Reportedly there was a major operation by the intelligence material collected over months of research.

In the published information indicated that 14 of the apparent hackers were arrested on similar charges, while the remaining two were captured by individual criminal complaints.

There is little doubt that the U.S. government has seriously taken the initiative to cut operating Anonymous on its territory. Anyway, it is noteworthy that the U.S. is not the only country is “hunting” hackers belonging to this prestigious group.

In June Spanish security forces three alleged hackers arrested and 32 others were arrested in Turkey a few days ago, so I can imagine how others will react members of Anonymous to this measure . Before any new development will keep you informed.
