The hacking collective Anonymous is pledging to expose the people behind the "QAnon" conspiracy theory.
The anarchist hacking group slammed the QAnon conspiracy as potentially dangerous and driven by a brainless political agenda in a video posted Sunday to what is widely considered the most reliable Anonymous Twitter account.
We will not sit idly by while you take advantage of the misinformed and poorly educated, the group said in the video, which was posted with the hashtags #OpQ and #OpQAnon.
The video depicts various figures with Anonymous masks acting out certain aspects of the QAnon conspiracy against a constant backdrop of the letter Q.

(7,813 posts)All they have to do is tap the shoulder of the guy two cubicles down and tell him to knock it off (or the Russian equivalent).
Do the Russian hackers have cubicles? Or are they seated elbow to elbow on long tables?
I don't have much faith in Anonymous. Even when they were more active, they didn't do much.
Didn't one of their last ops go horribly wrong when they said they were going to put Mexican Government criminals on blast?
I think one of their members was kidnapped and they told Anon that they had more name and would kill them and their families if even one name came out.
Scary stuff, especially when the bad guys can hack too.
