Anonymous

Definitions

1. A decentralized, leaderless hacktivist collective that emerged from 4chan's /b/ board around 2003, known for DDoS attacks, data leaks, and protest actions against organizations like the Church of Scientology, ISIS, and various governments. Its signature Guy Fawkes mask (from V for Vendetta) has become an international symbol of digital protest.

   In plain English: A loose, nameless group of internet activists and hackers who organize online protests and cyberattacks against targets they consider unjust.

   Example: "Anonymous took down the company's website after the CEO's comments went viral — the Guy Fawkes mask was all over Twitter within the hour."
