There’s more to Anonymous than Wikileaks and computer crime. They were most famous for going after Scientology.

Anonymous (group)

Habbo raids

A popular target for organized raids by Anonymous is Habbo, a popular social networking site designed as a virtual hotel. The first major raid is known as the “Great Habbo Raid of ‘06,” and a subsequent raid the following year is known as the “Great Habbo Raid of ‘07.”[12] In that raid (and most others that occur), users signed up to the Habbo site dressed in avatars of a black man wearing a grey suit and an Afro hairstyle and blocked entry to the pool, declaring that it was “closed due to AIDS,“[12][13] flooding the site with internet sayings,[13] and forming swastika-like formations.[13] When the raiders were banned, they complained of racism.[13]

Epilepsy Foundation forum invasion

On March 28, 2008, Wired News reported that “Internet griefers”—a slang term for people whose only interests are in harassing others[50]—assaulted an epilepsy support forum run by the Epilepsy Foundation of America.[51] JavaScript code and flashing computer animations were posted with the intention of triggering migraine headaches and seizures in photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epileptics.[51]

They are a pretty vile group.
