The Happy Ninja hackers believe that while Anonymous and Lulzsec deal with crooked governments and such, it is their duty to protect internauts against online fraudsters. They sprang into action by hacking and leaking data from websites that are known as being famous for fraud attempts.

According to The Hacker News, they released a full statement in which they claim that the main difference between them and Anonymous is that, unlike the hacktivists, they take their time when launching an operation, this being the main reason for the "substantial time span" between their releases.

It looks as they're not happy with the fact that Anonymous act in the so-called "Operation Antisec," as this operation targeted full disclosure. They argue that what the acts of others only bring much-desired attention to the security industry.

"'Money is the root of all evil' as the proverb has it; and it's why fraud communities do come back after we have owned and exposed them; but as long as they carry on, we do, too. Fraudsters ought to know that they're not safe because we are going to hunt down every single site that is left," reads their statement.

The tons of data consists of IP addresses, server logs, administrator and member credentials belonging to websites who are known to be illegal money making machines.

"We experience the fraud scene scattering wider and wider after every issue we have published; new boards, and with them new admins, emerge out of nowhere. That just shows well again how stubborn fraudsters are as most of them still refuse to accept that they lost their right to exist on the internet," they add.

"It's particularly frustrating that they don't seem to draw lessons from getting owned again and again."

In the battle between hackers, the simple users have the most to gain. Hacking operations are always to condemn, but it's nice to know there are some cyber masterminds that fight for the safety of the everyday internauts.
