Former Anonymous hacker speaks out to Cisco

Anonymous is a strange organization in the sense that it is not entirely organized. Sure, it has international recognition as a self-dubbed “hacktivist” network that gets involved with protests worldwide and infiltrates the websites and databases of corporations and governmental organizations alike.

But unity among its members hangs on by a threat, and some of them have become disenchanted with Anonymous — some of whom spun off into the other most notable hacker association of the year, LulzSec.

One such former member has spoken out in a interview with Cisco Security’s Jason Lackey. Going by the moniker “SparkyBlaze,” offered some details about his offline identity (Caucasian; in his 20s; lives in Manchester, UK; likes guns) and his past involvement with and thoughts about Anonymous now.
