Fourteen individuals believed to be part of the hacktivist group Anonymous pleaded innocent on Thursday in federal court in San Jose, Calif  to charges of participating in an attack against PayPal.

The defendants, mostly twenty-somethings who live in nine states and the District of Columbia, are facing felony charges of damaging a protected computer and conspiracy for allegedly launching distributed denial-of-service attacks against the PayPal site. The attack was launched late last year out of retaliation for the online payment service company's decision to cut ties with WikiLeaks after the whistleblower group published secret U.S. diplomatic cables.

FBI agents arrested the 14 alleged Anonymous members in July.
