Governments Using Anonymous to Cover Hacking Tracks
Governments around the world could be hiding behind the Anonymous name in order to carry out cyber-attacks against other government's websites according to a security expert.
In April, almost 500 Chinese websites, including some Chinese government sites, were defaced, with Anonymous China taking the blame and listing the 485 affected sites on Pastebin, along with email addressed and other personal data stolen in the attack.

Among the messages posted on the defaced websites was: "Dear Chinese government, you are not infallible, today websites are hacked, tomorrow it will be your vile regime that will fall." While news of the defacement was widely reported in the western media, it was never officially confirmed by the Chinese, with government officials denying the attack had even taken place.
