Anonymous Operation, commonly abbreviated as AnonOps, is an Internet hacking group related to Anonymous that claimed responsibility to hacking many prominent websites. The group was originally formed in 2004 as Anonymous was announcing their operation to hack and proclaim websites. Their organization for hacking and trying to proclaim Internet Freedom became huge in 2011 when users on Twitter and Facebook made fan-made accounts to support Anonymous Operations and LulzSec. AnonOps also supported "Occupy" (An Anonymous group) and Anonymous IRC - "We are #Anonymous. We are the #Antisec embassy. Sailing the seven proxeas with our humble fleet. Bitcoins to: 18NHixaoQekQJ3y52aBGJJwgBWX9X3myYR". Anonymous Operations generated more than 1M tweets in the past 3 years with news worthy tweets and Internet freedom tweets and post over via Facebook. This group has been described as "Harmful and trust worthy fighters protesting against government."
