Anonymous's War on Trump Described as Successful and Disastrous (techinsider.io)
CitizensForTrump.com and the Trump Hotel Collection site reportedly went offline Friday, seeming to confirm threats made by the hacktivist collective Anonymous. But TechInsider is reporting that "The 'total war' that Anonymous declared earlier this month against Donald Trump has devolved into a war among hackers fighting within the group and pro-Trump supporters who are trolling them within their chat rooms." They describe two warring factions within the group's anti-Trump movement, also quoting CloudFlare's CEO as saying denial of service attacks "are sort of the functional equivalent of a caveman with a club." But while Trump has warned that law enforcement officials are pursuing the attackers, one Anonymous member unequivocally announced that still more attacks were planned. "This is NOT the last time you hear of this operation. We will be watching, and will act when the time is right."
That describes Donald Trump as well, but cavemen have better hair.
Anonymous was pretty much always just a few leaders with skills and an army of lamers who could only DDOS or and shitpost. It's just that early on the leaders directed the lamers to more deserving targets.
There probably weren't that many of them. The GamerGate IRC logs show that most of the participating accounts were sock puppets. Chances are the DDOS attacks are mostly botnets.
