How an FBI mole destroyed ‘Anonymous’, the hacker collective that helped the traitor Snowden and his expose of NSA spy operations.


June 17th, 2011. At the peak of their “50 days of terror," the hacker collective calling themselves “Lulz Security,” posted their manifesto on Twitter.

The most unnerving part was that no one had any idea who these hackers could be, or even how many there really were. By the time they posted their manifesto, the members of LulzSec were feeling invincible. They were teenagers who had already successfully taken down dictators in 5 different countries as part of Anonymous, but now, as LulzSec, they were ready to take control of the entire internet.

Except they were playing with fire and couldn’t smell the smoke. They had a mole in their midst. One of their closest friends… was secretly working for the FBI.

This is the story of the rise and fall of one of the most powerful hacking groups in the history of the internet, and it all starts with… Anonymous.
