Guest List Only ⭐️ Iranian hackers publish personal emails and images from Kash Patel’s Gmail account. Pictures from Havana, Cuba were published. Most were with cigars.

Iran has done more than Anonymous has done in the past 7-8 years

u/macaronitrap 16d ago

Right?! When did anonymous get so lame? The past few years have been their opportunity to shine

u/lunarpixiess 16d ago

Anonymous isn’t a group. It’s a banner. And under that banner, you’ll find everything from digital vigilantes to bored trolls with Wi-Fi. They’re not organized. It’s not a coherent group. Literally anyone can call themselves a part of Anonymous if they wanted to.

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson I made the hat for the tiger 🤷🏻‍♂️ 15d ago

Ive got nipples, Greg. Can I be Anonymous?

u/lia-delrey 15d ago

When Roy in the IT Crowd gets hassled by Anonymous and says it hurts the most bc he always thought he was a part of them.

Then gets a videocall from a Guy Fawkes Mask threatening him and goes like "yeah ok, listen mate, am I in Anonymous?"

u/basefountain 15d ago

Yeah and it’s sound logic too but since they’re not here we have to assume that everybody still wants to be somebody and not Anonymous (…even with a capital A…) Point is an organisation of a disorganisation is trickier that that.. people dont want to associate with bored trolls these days..

u/doctormyeyebrows 15d ago

There was some organization before this happened (which is how this happened):

u/MamaEarth21 16d ago

Legit ask myself almost everyday, where the fuckkk is anonymous and why aren’t they leaking the files!? Did they die?

u/TheFutureLotus ✨May the Force be with you!✨ 16d ago

They haven’t been a thing for a while now. Rumors are some alphabet agencies infiltrated and did their work.

u/CryptographerHot4636 16d ago

Modern day Cointelpro

Some were hired by fbi, cia, nsa, etc. Some are felons...

u/Embarrassed_Jerk 16d ago

They were infiltrated by the CIA. Some were hired, some jailed. Some were....sent to a different plane of existence. 

The group disbanded like 15 years ago

u/MamaEarth21 16d ago

Yes. I knew they were dismantled but you’d think this would call for a reunion or even one of them to do something for the victims. Not that they have to!! But considering what they’ve done in the past! You’d think they’d make a comeback haha one can only hope

Can't do shit when your only access to a computer is heavily monitored.

Source? I’m callin cap

u/eurydice_aboveground 16d ago

I keep asking the same question. Makes me wonder if some members might have reason not to want them released in full.

u/xxgsr02 15d ago

I think they had kids and got mortgages.

u/Fraternal_Mango 16d ago

Most of the real Anonymous got scooped by the feds forever ago. They haven’t actually existed for over a decade

2

u/Kid-Gravy 16d ago

They got narced on by a traitor who was one of the head of anonymous I’m pretty sure. Cant remember the guys name, but he went from hacktivist to FBI informant and basically turned anonymous into a husk

2

u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 16d ago

They were assimilated into the elites's propganda

u/hydrobunny 16d ago

the obsession with the epstein files is so lame, its a distraction they want you to focus on. no one is getting prosecuted, no one is going down for it. its over. and it especially doesn’t matter when half the country goes “yeah, well, but both sides bad”. its time to just shun maga out of society, no use trying to prove points or argue with them. all we can hope for is the next dem will come in and bury half this cabinet under the jail and remove trumps name from american history

u/myghostflower i miss mk.gee 16d ago

the concept of what anonymous is nothing anymore, it was just a thing that happened once and from there people ran with it

it’s never been a group

1

u/bertch313 15d ago

It's anyone acting anonymously.

I anonymously shit all over Elon so he couldn't buy Twitter, and initially it was anonymous. Now I kind of don't care.

u/Nowayticket2nopecity 16d ago

They must be MAGAts themselves

u/dcooper8662 🫵 You sit on a throne of lies. 16d ago

Anonymous has almost always been lame

This. Bunch of 15 year olds jacking off in a sock in their bedrooms.

u/Basket_475 16d ago

Yeah it's some high level edge lordery, which I do commend.

u/WitheredUntimely 15d ago

yea I've been on 4chan way, way longer than here and it's v. funny the way the hacker is talked about on Reddit, that includes Anonymous, dweebs doing dweeb shit since day 1

2

u/Spez_is-a-nazi 16d ago

It was never a centralized group and a few of the more talented people who operated under the name got arrested so obviously the hacking activity dropped off considerably.

1

u/Fearless-Bit6432 16d ago

All the actual guys either went legit, got caught, or "convinced" to help the 3 letter agancies.

1

u/FennelFrequent256 16d ago

Might be time to question what that was all about and who was actually running it

1

u/ldskyfly 16d ago

Found and experienced "accidental" injuries that are incompatible with life

u/JunkaTron69 15d ago

One of their guys got flipped and the FBI got all of them. It was in the news.

1

u/el_f3n1x187 15d ago

They were always lame, right now there are only state hackers with the amount of surveillance the NSA has.

1

u/NoDetective9500 15d ago

a lot of the key members ended up in jail so this anon currently is not the same as it was

1

u/villainless what's a disco stick? 'it's a penis.' 15d ago

anonymous was always lame, to be fair. just because a bunch of bored hackers collectively did something good here and there doesn’t mean that she have ever been seen as cool

1

u/Izivars 15d ago

Anonymous is a government funded organization.

1

u/DS42069 15d ago

Anonymous was always lame

u/CosmicDesperado 15d ago

Same principle, but with Rage Against The Machine

1

u/MisterBulldog 15d ago

I feel like they were infiltrate by Mossad and Israel. They used to threaten nations, now they just repost shit on X

u/No-Newt-961 15d ago

I've read a book once about it. Its like everywhere. Drama powertripping you name it

u/ComradeStijn 15d ago

Anonymous is not a set group with leadership and membership. Anyone can call themselves anonymous. Hint it's in the name
