Who is the hacktivist group Anonymous - Spin Pesa- Spin and Win

Started around 2003 on the 4chan forums, at first they were just a bunch of internet geeks with a shared love for memes and a growing disdain for censorship. However, they soon started flexing their cyber-muscles fighting back against online bullies who targeted younger kids eventually evolving to fighting for freedom of information and against the powers that be.

Their anonymity and lack of organizational hierarchy was their superpower, and they’ve been growing exponentially ever since. Throughout their reign they’ve made a name for themselves as masked avengers who are all about justice, transparency, and freedom standing against censorship, corruption, and oppression.

How do they operate then? New operations are proposed online in encrypted instant messages, if it rakes enough support then its carried out.

Some of their notable cyber hits include;
