We Are Anonymous

*We Are Anonymous* by Parmy Olson offers the first comprehensive account of the notorious hacker collectives Anonymous and LulzSec. Based on unprecedented access and exclusive interviews with all six core members of LulzSec, Olson delves into the formation, rise, and ultimate betrayal of these global cyber insurgents. The book chronicles their wide-ranging digital assaults, from protesting WikiLeaks by targeting financial institutions to embarrassing corporations, the Vatican, and exposing government personnel. It explores their motivations—whether activists or anarchists—their methods, and their lasting implications for internet security.
