Description

Back in 2011 during Occupy Wall Street protests, a certain hacktivist collective truly came into its own. The years since Anonymous exploded in popularity and even became the constant pop culture reference point to all hacktivism or even, just hackers.

I got Motherboard reporter Lorenzo Francheschi Bicchierrai on the show to tell us more.
