Anonymous is a loosely associated international web connection of activist and hacktivist entities.
It has no central leadership and can be loosely termed as a Internet gathering of like minded people.
Anonymous began from a 4Chan board in 2003 and went on to become worlds premier hacktivism group.
Their latest flagship campaign which is underway is #OpISIS against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
What does it feel to a member of such an organisation.
Im happy to be involved in the fight against ISIS.
She also confirmed about the shift in hacking tactics of Anonymous after the Paris attacks.
Currently, we are more focused on intel collection than on shutting websites down.
So, we scour the Internet social media, websites and the Darknet for terrorist activity.
We then analyse data for threats, propaganda, etc.
Any actionable intel is sent to the appropriate law enforcement agency, she said.
Anonymous has been at the forefront of reporting terrorists related social media accounts of Facebook and Twitter.
There are automated services, such as CtrlSec, which do that.
So, that frees us up for intel collection.
Particularly egregious terror sites we shut down immediately due to the imminent danger they present.
Terrorist sites that recruit fall under this category, the hacker added.
I was impressed with them and the work that they did and eventually ended up joining, she notes.
People are a little more curious about it.
But, I havent observed any discrimination of female hackers.
There is no one philosophy, really.
There are a variety of viewpoints and causes.
