Hacktivist group Anonymous reportedly plans to launch more attacks on Chinese government Web sites to "uncover corruption" and take down the "Great Firewall of China".

The group wanted to alert the Chinese government that they "aren't afraid", and were going to "show the truth" and "fight for justice", Anonymous hacker, f0ws3r, told Reuters in a report Monday.

F0ws3r also added that they planned more serious attacks against Chinese Web sites, "a few at a time", to bring down the "Great Firewall of China". However, he declined to give further details on the next round of attacks, except that it may hit bigger targets. The Anonymous China group consisted of 10 to 12 hackers, most of whom were not based in China, and had "hundreds" of translators working with them to hack the Chinese Web sites, F0ws3r said.
