Hello and welcome back to more We Are Anonymous summaries, and today we are going to learn more about Anonymous and its history. Today we're going to learn about more people who joined Anonymous. Some married and already had children, while others were just fans of Anonymous's vigilante justice. This is the story of two eager "wannabe" Anonymous hackers and their journey into the organization.
The story opens with Jennifer Emick, another ex-Church of Scientology member (the 2nd one ever since that Patty girl back in the start of chapter 5) who, after a harrowing experience with the Church back when she was a member, was convinced that the Church was evil. She soon joined the party of protestors that were rooting for the downfall of the Church. It took a while for Emick to join the protestors, but in time, after realizing the Church's evil antics, She became a full-time member of the activists.
Another unlikely member of Anonymous was an ex-military guy named Wesley Bailey who used to disapprove of Anonymous's cruel ways. The shocking images posted on their website, their wild creativity and most disturbing of all, the free speech full of horrible comments from the people in Anonymous. However, he eventually realized that Anonymous was more than merely just a mean community full of dark troublemakers. He was a big fan of vigilante justice, and believed that there was power in Anonymous that could help him in his pursuit of new pranks and online harassment, which Bailey was actually quite a fan of.
However, it turned out that Anonymous was more violent than the two of the wannabe hackers could have anticipated. Emick disapproved of Anonymous's evil ways, saying that they were acting like bullies on the Internet, trolling and "owning" everyone they can. As she was being quite a disobedient member of Anonymous, the Anons (short for "Anonymous members") dubbed her as a threat and sent the cops and the FBI to her house, telling them that Emick was an Anon.
Realizing Anonymous was classifying her as a threat, Emick and her family moved to Michigan before the authorities managed to apprehend her, leaving Anonymous with one informant on the run. Before they knew it, Emick was training herself to be one of the most skilled hackers in the world in order to prepare herself for the ultimate moment: To out-hack Anonymous and tear them apart before they could cause more damage to the world.
Meanwhile, Bailey was in a conflict with his family. He was secretly yearning to be female after a small conversation he had with a transgendered woman after leaving the army. The transgender was beautiful and confident (at least to Bailey) and Bailey attempted to change his gender as well to share feelings for his dream girl (or dream "girl-boy", come to think of it) by purchasing a few doses of special pills designed to alter genders. However, Bailey didn't realize the power of the pills, which turned him into a female. Shocked of his transformation and confused of what to do next, he and his wife decided to divorce (if that is the right way to say it) and go their separate ways.
Bailey (now a female) decided to go join Anonymous, which he viewed as his final place to relieve himself of all the troubles he got into. He was met by Kayla (after a rough greeting of "Who the #^&% is this?"), who helped Bailey discuss about how he turned transgender in the first place and amazingly, Kayla knew more about the pills that Bailey took more than its user. Soon the two became close friends and kept in touch, making Bailey an official member of Anonymous.
Innocent computer users turned strict anti-hackers for the law and a transgendered man trying to find peace in the hacking world. I wonder, what will come next? Well, guess we'll have to wait. Until then, I'll be right here, reading more about Anonymous. Peace out!

We are Anonymous Chapter 5
Well, well, well... We're BACK, guys! Witth more posts of We Are Anonymous, that is. And you guys already know what that means: More stories about hackers and the groups they worked for, more stories about Anonymmous. But fortunately for you guys out there who are quite sick with reading about hacker's bios and their history, in this chapter we are going to learn about the very thing that turned Anonymous from nuisances on the web, doing prank calls and griefing, into a worldwide organization known as global havocwreakers. Here's how it went down...
Anonymous started to propel their small faction into a large one thanks to Tom Cruise and a video the Church of Scientology wanted to keep under wraps. Cruise was a die-hard follower of Scientology, making him one of the strongest advocates for the Church. He was the star of the video that the Church wanted to keep secretly. The church did a good job keeping the video confidential up to one point.
One day, an unknown Church member decided to laek the video to one of the strongest protestors against the Church, Patty Pieniadz. Patty, as an ex-Scientologist herself, decided to wait for the perfect moment to strike, striking the spot where it would hurt the most. And when the time came, she unleashed the video onto YouTube. Unsurprisingly, the video went viral, and despite YouTube's best efforts to keep the cat in the bag, the video stuck on the Internet for eternity.
This is where Anonymous comes in. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to prove their power to the world, they decided to launch a DDoS (don't ask me what that is, apparently it's something deadly) attack on the Church aided by a machine called the Gigaloader. The attack was so succeessful, it critically "injured" the Church, which, after all it's gone through, wasn't really in the mood for accepting more offenses.
To add pain to torture, Anonymous's attack on the Church also happened in unison as the unleashing of the "haters", who just took out their wrath on the Church by releasing confidential Church documents to the public. At the same time, Anonymous also received requests from various people on the Internet begging to participate in Anonymous's attack on the Church. Together they unleasheed the power of the Gigaloader, which all the Anonymous members and followers used in unison.
In no time Anonymous was bombarding "hurtful" data at the Church, followed by many other newfangled devices that added insult to the Church's injury. Heck, they even made a YouTube account named ChurchOfScientology posting confidential information from the Church. After the dust cleared, people took Anonymous way more seriously; The feds, the FBI, all the USA special agencies. They were all involved in the hunt for this new league of hackers.
So just a gentle reminder: If you're wondering how Anonymous became world-famous in the first place, think the church of Scientology. Being the first target of Anonymous, they're the one that revealed this lethal organization to the world and got them on a rampage. Next up,we're going to learn more about Anonymous's cyber-battles with the world.

We Are Anonymous Chapter 4
Hello people, and welcome back to more summaries of We Are Anonymous. In this chapter we are going to discover the cause of a woman's turning into an Anonymous member. This woman's name is Kayla, and her is her story of how she turned from zero to hero; from Internet outcast into professional hacker. Without further spoilers, here is her story...
Kayla started off as a secretive teen, who kept her family details under strict cover from the public. She was more open to her friends, but still quite secretive nonetheless. It seemed that half of her desperately wanted attention that she was worth something to the people around her whilst at the same time shutting her (and her family's) personal details inside her to prevent offense from the people out there, just jumping at the smallest chance to cyberbully the poor girl.
Over time, she became a greatly skilled hacker with exceptional skills (attacking web databases single-handedly, fishing out computer bugs and bypassing them, stuff like that) you wouldn't expect from a 14-year old. Often she would receive a comment of praise from a random impressed guy on the Internet saying "Wow, You're still 14 years old and you can already do this?" following an impressive cyber-attack on some web database or something like that.
However, Kayla also suffered hardships when it came to socializing online. As you may have heard, most people on the Internet are guys and they don't usually think that the girls are "in their league" and will have to get through a few insane stuff (some I won't even bother to mention) to mingle with the dudes. That's actually pretty ironic, since most guys on the Internet (mostly internet "trolls") actually PRETEND TO BE FEMALE in order to (somehow) weaken others on the Internet with this fake personality.
But in Kayla's case, this was quite fatal. Now most people (who knew she was actually a genuine girl) either started flirting with her on the internet (in some cases, even 27-year old pedophiles) or started posting misogynistic comments stating that she should start doing some unspeakable stuff (like I said previously, so inappropriate I won't even bother to mention it) in order to get into the guys' league.
This was her eason for her joining Anonymous in the first place. Before long, she was already trolling random people on the internet for kicks, making her an unknown, untrackable and notorious internet threat. But other than her sense of unleashing her anger on random people, she is also known for unleashing unavoidable threats with no counter-attack to internet troublemakers everywhere (to give you an idea of what I mean by "troublemakers", we're talking pedophiles, people notorious for their bestiality online, other hackers, people like that). These threats were lethal to their receivers, because Kayla had the power to leak personal information to the public or the feds.
Kayla is also aided by a party of other hackers, who assist her in hacking jobs. After she decided to join Anonymous, the cyber-terrorists were almost unstoppable. With Kayla on their side, they transformed from an amateur, unorganized and shattered group of computer griefers into a professional, organized and lethal cadre of hackers that have been promoted by the public into "domestic terrorists". This may be a bit of a weak position for such an organized group of hackers, but they are about to be known globally as the ultimate cyber-terrorists we now know.
Next up is another biography (DON'T PANIC! The bios are going to come to an end sooner or later, just a few more chapters), followed by an epic story of how Anonymous rose up to be known worldwide. But that's another chapter. Hopefully you guys will stay with me for the remaining chapters, something big is about to go down...

We Are Anonymous Chapter 3
Hey people,and today I have returned with more summaries of We Are Anonymous. In today's summary, we are going to plunge into the life of yet ANOTHER hacker in Anonymous dubbed “Topiary”. He is one hacker in Anonymous that has been revealed to be quite a popular guy, liked by a lot of people, and just so suddenly... Became Anonymous. Here's his story.
Jake was a rare person with a gift as a child. When he was still a small youngster, he enjoyed watching TV math game shows like Countdown compared to cartoons. When he was still 2, he was so obsessed in numbers that his favorite device was a calculator, which would just be fiddled around with for pure entertaainment.
Unfortunately for Jake, he was only 6 when his family decided to move from England to a remote island in Scotland. His dad and mom came into conflict and decided to part ways, leaving the dad in God Knows Where and the mom and her kids in that remote island in Scotland mentioned a few sentences ago. Life on the island wasn't really that hard, and the local fishermen and farmers were quite friendly to outsiders, giving them leftover food from their sales in the market. In fact, the Davis family had 3 fridges jam-packed with fish and meat.
Then again, there are also downsides to living in a remote island in Scotland. Like the school. Most people in Jake's school didn't really take kindly to outsiders. This made school a living hell for poor Jake, who tried his best to make school a tad better, without much success. To make matters even worse, Jake's step-dad died in an accident, and by some freaky coincidence, he was the owner of the Davis' house, and soon they had to move out of the house and move into a small wooden house. For a 13-year old kid, this was quite hard for Jake.
Due to all the pressure, Jake decided to take out all his stress by socializing via social media and online games like RuneScape. However, over time he decided to turn to mischievous antics thanks to encouragements from his friends. After his first smash-hit prank call to Walmart asking for a “fish-shaped RC helicopter, his friends loved him and started asking for even more of his crazy calls. Over time he was so skilled in prank calls that he even created a website named Tiny Chat.
Soon Jake became the mastermind of various raids on popular websites. For example, he helped grief a website hosting a game called Habbo, an open-world game where you traveled around a hotel, talking to random people. Before long, a party of troublemakers decided to enter Habbo en masse, blocking the hotel's swimming pool, telling other players that it was “closed due to AIDS”. And if anyone DID manage to break into the swimming pool, they would see a full-scale party with disco dancers running the show.
Finally, he was one of the hackers who used IRC (Internet Relay Chat) as a communication device for hackers to plot their next cyber-attack. In IRC chats, they'd also make up their own chat lingo (that we all know today as ROTFL (Roll On The Floor Laughing), LOL (Laugh Out Loud), etc). IRC was also the thing that turned Anonymous from a disbanded group of hackers into an organized group of hackers that would work together in an attack in unison.
So there you go; the story of another hacker that has helped Anonymous come together. In the next chapter is the story a female hacker in Anonymous. Will she be an amateur hacker or professional hacker? We'll find out in the next chapter!

We Are Anonymous Chapter 2
Hey people, and we are back with MORE We Are Anonymous summaries! In today's summary, we are going to learn about a day in the life of a hacker in Anonymous. Before I start messing up details about the story, let's just get right to it!
The chapter opens with the explanation of a very popular anime website named 2chan. This website (aided by its very similar bootleg website named 4chan) was the reason behind Aaron Barr (read chapter 1 if you think you forgot/don't know this guy) and his encounter with Anonymous. Here's how all this crap about Anonymous's attack on the security company (chapter 1, if you remember) happened in the first place:
One day, there was a 14-year old kid named Christopher Poole who found out about 2chan, that anime website mentioned in the previous paragraph. Since, he, like (almost) all the teenagers his age loved anime, he decided to make a translated version of 2chan named 4chan (that bootleg anime website I said earlier) so the anime website (that was formerly typed in Japanese) could be read by his fellow teenagers who, like Poole, were all also anime fans.
Over time, 4chan slowly turned into a nest of Anonymous members, and most users of the web claim to have discovered about Anonymous through 4chan. And as luck would have it, one Anonymous member named William decided to use this website for his own ends. William was a young cyber-terrorist (that's "griefer" for you Minecraft players out there) who enjoyed inflicting sorrow in the hearts of unknown strangers. Well, who could blame him? At his early 20s, he has never managed to get a full time job and prefers to lock himself in his room to find a bit of peace.
In no time at all, William had managed to transform 4chan from an innocent anime website into an internet addict's paradise full of porn, gore, shocking images, the lot. He'd even terrorize his friends, family and relatives. Ruining other people's lives gave him happiness and kept his thoughts about suicide and the outside world at bay. To him, 4chan was like coke to a drug addict. Griefing kept him alive, and was the only thing standing in his way between him and suicide.
If you were wondering why all this adulterated stuff on 4chan didn't bother him, it's because William has already been exposed to the adult world at a very ripe age. For one, he was first exposed to porn when he was eleven, and until today he hasn't stopped his adult antics. Occasionally he'd go online to hack into people's webcams and catch them in some embarrassing moments (some I don't even need to mention). He was also the mastermind behind a lot of coded messages on 4chan that has lured some innocent kids into the adult world.
However, William has also been confirmed as some type of blackmailer who has forced many people (many close ones) to hand over their private information, their photos (most of them inappropriate) quite easily. If he found an account he desired to raid, he would hack into said person's web account and inform them about it. The victim would freak out, and William would say that now that the victim's account was vulnerable and is suspectible to more hacking from other people.
After the person asked what could be done in order for the hacking to stop, William would say that the person would have to divulge the info of his/her web accounts to William. Afterwards, William would keep the victim's account under wraps. The victim, trying to hide his/her account ASAP, would quickly spill the beans. And as promised, William would help make the leaked accout look like it never happened plus a few tips for web safety.
So apparently life as an Anonymous hacker is quite entertaining, but WILL require a cold heart and no remorse. Not a job I'd like to take...
We are Anonymous Chapter 1
Hey guys, I've got some news for you (bad or good, that's up to you). My dad has told me to change books from The Hunger Games to this book about a legion of deadly hackers called We Are Anonymous. Don't complain or gripe; this is not up to me. Honestly, if I could choose, I'd stick with The Hunger Games, but it might be worth changing books as to not anger my dad. So without further ado, let's start the summary already!
The book opens in the eyes of Aaron Barr, a digital security executive who had just come face-to-face with Anonymous on an eventful day of the Super Bowl. His day just went from hero to zero. It started with a few "malfunctions" with his web accounts. First his iPhone received a heinous email: "cannot receive mail". Despite his useless efforts to log in again, his email account was still AWOL. Even worse, when he tried to log in to EVERY SINGLE WEB ACCOUNT HE HAD, his password was always rejected. Apparently someone, or some people, were messing with him.
He later discovered who were the people cutting him off of his web accounts. A group of shady hackers named "Anonymous", who weren't your typical everyday hacking guys; these people seemed to be like professionals; Apparently so skilled at their jobs that they even left a terrifying tagline after successfully pulling off a hacking job:
We are Anonymous
We are Legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget
Expect us.
To make this group even more professional-looking, they even had a few logos representing them. On their digital flyers and messages, they'd have a logo of a man in a tuxedo with a question mark replacing where his head is supposed to be. In the background would be the background setting of the UN. Here's a picture to give you a better idea:
Other than this logo, there would be a Guy Fawkes mask representing Anonymous's, well, anonymity. So just with these logos, you can tell that Anonymous is a skilled team of pro hackers around the world that are untrackable and capable of bringing down entire governmental securities.
Anonymous has got off to a good start so far. Barr's job was as a digital security exec, so that means Anonymous have just mocked him by hacking into a digital security company. How ironic can this get? Even worse (for Barr, that is), Anonymous has successfully managed to leak all of Barr's private info all over the net. before he knew it, his first photo when posing as a "digital security guy" (whatever yo call it) was cropped onto a James Bond movie poster to insult his security work and his head was altered to look like the internet comic "Forever Alone".
So Anonymous has started its journey into the online world with a blast by trolling a security company (or at least one of its employees). It still has loads of potential, so who knows what they're going to do next? Hack into the CIA? leeching money from the president's bank account? Well, that's to be revealed in the next, chapter. But for now, tha's all for today. Hopefully you guys weren't too mad about the sudden change of books, that was unplanned.Until then, sayonara!

The Hunger Games Chapter 6
Hello ladies and gentlemen, my blog has been UPDATED! More summaries about The Hunger Games have been added to my blog and so far we are up to chapter 6, where Katniss and Peeta are starting to get a bit of time together. These two tributes, who are about to be locked inside a massive arena with other psychopaths (I mean, tributes) who, in the end, will initiate a gory fight to the death with only ONE VICTOR (that means only one guy/girl will be alive, leaving the other tribute in the same district a corpse). It also discusses District 12's strategies to stand a chance in the Games. You know what? Before I start ruining the story, let's just start it already.
First of all, Katniss stops to admire the wealth of the Capitol. She describes to "us" about how everything in the place can be instantly activated at the press of a button, and there are so many of them (the buttons, that is) that she doesn't have time to press them all and see what they do. The shower panel alone has so many options for water temperature, body and hair washing, the lot. After all these posh washing gadgets, the advanced technology doesn't end there. Even the dressing closet can be programmed to decide what kind of clothes you want to wear. Man, the technology in this book.
After even MORE techie stuff with the dining room (including a mouthpiece you can use to whisper orders from a menu and the food will be slipped out of said mouthpiece), the district's ambassadors talk about a girl named Delly Cartwright, an Avox (apparently this is the posh word in the book for "traitor") who got her tongue cut off for some heinous crime. Not much else is really told about her, making her a bit of a shady character (well, at least not yet. Later in the chapter she is mentioned, but we haven't got to that part yet), although it did ring a bell for Katniss. Her story will be revealed later.
After dinner, Katniss and Peeta have a bit of alone time together on the roof of their building. The two tributes glance into the night sky, looking at the Capitol, a massive land of lights resembling a swarm of fireflies. An opportunity like this didn't come so often in District 12, where the electricity would go on and off all the time. The only time the two tributes could fully exploit (I mean, use) electricity was when there was something absolutely vital to watch, such as the Games or some bogus government message. But here, they could count on it to stay bright.
This is the time when Katniss tells her fellow tribute the story about the Avox. She (the Avox, that is) was still a very young soul when Katniss found her wandering around in the woods. At first, they just glanced at each other, like most strangers would do. Suddenly, a Capitol hovercraft, which appeared out of nowhere, quickly abducted (well, that's a bit too alien-ish. Why not replace that word with "snatch"?) the child. Katniss could have saved her, but she was a bit dazzled by the suddenly appearing craft (well, wouldn't you if suddenly this huge vehicle just popped out of nowhere?), letting the child get seized by the hovercraft's riders and taken away to God knows where. Katniss still feels guilty over the incident and wonders if the child will still remember her.
So from this chapter, we can tell that Katniss is pretty impressed by the Capitol's technology, which are all at its user's disposal just at a click of a button. She and Peeta also realized that they cared for each other (regardless of the stuff they're going to have to get through) and that Katniss is quite a caring girl underneath that tough hunter's skin. We also discover that Peeta isn't one to hold grudges (although he is going to have to kill this girl that he just sat on a roof with), especially with those closest to him, despite what's going to happen.
First of all, Katniss stops to admire the wealth of the Capitol. She describes to "us" about how everything in the place can be instantly activated at the press of a button, and there are so many of them (the buttons, that is) that she doesn't have time to press them all and see what they do. The shower panel alone has so many options for water temperature, body and hair washing, the lot. After all these posh washing gadgets, the advanced technology doesn't end there. Even the dressing closet can be programmed to decide what kind of clothes you want to wear. Man, the technology in this book.
After even MORE techie stuff with the dining room (including a mouthpiece you can use to whisper orders from a menu and the food will be slipped out of said mouthpiece), the district's ambassadors talk about a girl named Delly Cartwright, an Avox (apparently this is the posh word in the book for "traitor") who got her tongue cut off for some heinous crime. Not much else is really told about her, making her a bit of a shady character (well, at least not yet. Later in the chapter she is mentioned, but we haven't got to that part yet), although it did ring a bell for Katniss. Her story will be revealed later.
After dinner, Katniss and Peeta have a bit of alone time together on the roof of their building. The two tributes glance into the night sky, looking at the Capitol, a massive land of lights resembling a swarm of fireflies. An opportunity like this didn't come so often in District 12, where the electricity would go on and off all the time. The only time the two tributes could fully exploit (I mean, use) electricity was when there was something absolutely vital to watch, such as the Games or some bogus government message. But here, they could count on it to stay bright.
