The notorious hacker collective, Anonymous, has re-emerged.

For those who’ve never heard of Anonymous before, they are a decentralized group of hackers and activists with their origins dating back to 2003. Within a decade, the hacktivists grew in popularity and became a force to reckon with.

For nearly two decades, Anonymous has launched cyberattacks against nations, government organizations, and corporations with the single aim of exposing corruption while supporting the underdogs.

And they’ve returned with their most pervasive hacking campaign yet.

To cut off the head of the Russian beast named Vladimir Putin.
