Seven lessons not learned about Anonymous (DIEEEO122-2013)

The purpose of this paper is to address the seven key lessons to be drawn about the origin, development and decay of hacktivism movement called Anonymous. The brief history of this group is of great interest to understand some of the dynamics of power and social mobilization in the information era. This legacy has not always been well understood, it being usual to assume as true, certain images distorted on its operation and capabilities. This article analyzes the role it may have ideology vs. an attractive appearance, the importance of formal organizations to support and coordinate a broad group of people, and the danger of over-reaction to this type of threats.
