Anonymous's Operation Hiroshima: Inside the Doxing Coup the Media Ignored
The Anonymous hacktivist collective dropped its Operation Hiroshima bomb on New Year's Day, and despite its success in pulling off a large-scale, wide-reaching document dump, the event has received very little coverage by the mainstream media.
Known best by its Twitter hashtag #OpHiroshima, the dump was an organized attempt to "dox," or release as much incriminating and integral information as possible on one day about institutions, officials, corporations and other entities with which various sectors of the diverse Anon collective have grievances.
As a member of the doxing crew known as Doxcak3 told the International Business Times via telephone last week, the plan was not to harm the targets of their ire, but instead to provide as much information as possible on them in order to ensure that they know they are accountable for their actions.
