Hacker group is quite busy on all fronts

There are a few campaigns for which the Anonymous hacker collective is known for, but the group is also engaged in many, many, many more other operations, some of which are quite interesting and surely deserve some of your attention.

We all know about #OpISIS, #OpParis, #OpMonsanto, #OpWhales, #OpKillingBay, #OpKKK, and even about the newer #OpTrump, launched only a few days ago.

But after doing a little bit of searching, we now present to you some interesting operations that Anonymous has underway, some of which we're sure you might have never heard of.

⓵   Operation Safe Winter

#OpSafeWinter is a campaign aimed at raising awareness of the high number of people living on the streets and the dangers they are in during each winter. The campaign started last year, but the group is dedicated to keeping it running this year also.

⓶   Operation Cheetah Trade

The name speaks for itself. This campaign is brand new and revolves around the fact that Middle East countries refuse to follow international laws and selling cheetah cubs online is still allowed there. Now, this is the kind of DDoS attack for which I would have no problem giving my notebook away and having it added to the Anonymous botnet.

⓷   Operation Death Eaters

Some Anonymous members have infiltrated online communities for pedophiles on the Dark Web and are planning to find and dox the people participating in this kind of sites.

⓸   Operation Innocence Peshawar

This operation is planned for December 16, 2015, on the one-year anniversary of the Peshawar mass killing, when Islamic extremists executed 132 children in a school in Peshawar. There are no DDoS attacks currently planned, with the hacker collective only taking to social media with messages of support.

⓹   Operation Footage

Anonymous is instructing members to save all audio, video, and image evidence that ISIS posts online and then direct it to the proper authorities so that they might be able to catalog the people involved and bring them to justice if the war ever ends. The campaign was started to list ISIS members that have committed serious crimes like mass murders or public executions.

⓺   Operation Charitin

This is a new campaign that has not yet started, but some Anonymous members have pledged support. It revolves around the child and youth care workers in various countries that take children away from families without any valid evidence. This is a known problem and has happened numerous times to immigrant families that have moved in developed countries. OpCharitin seems to be an evolution from the older Anonymous campaign called #OpYouthCare.

⓻   Operation Refugee Outreach

This campaign is similar to Operation Safe Winter, only it targets refugees of all kinds. It's more of a social media campaign, rather than a cyber war.

⓼   Operation Free Waters

The Free Waters campaign is related to a dam that's currently being built on the Nile in Egypt's Nubia region. This campaign is similar to #OpMonsanto because the group will be taking arms against a corporation that's not willing to back down from a multi-million dollar investment. Anonymous statements are available on GhostBin, here and here.

UPDATE: We have updated the information about #OpDeathEaters.
