How do organizations such as these conplicate cybersecurity? Is there an inherant cintradiction in their goals of provacy and transparency as well as freedom while attacking people and organizations?

Answer 1

• Anonymous and wikileaks are 2 organisations of hacktivism that have worked on a common interest of providing information free of cost in the past.
• Anonymous does not have a leader like wikileaks have assange.
• Anonymous does not have an organisation structure like wikileaks.
• Anonymous chose a target and work to attack it using hacking.
• Wikileaks works on the principle of whistleblowing.

• Wikileaks and anonymous pose a great challenge to the states and institutions in power as they can leak their information whick can cause problems for them.

• These organisations complicate cyber security as they are taking private information of some organisations illegally using hacking but making it available to the general oublic to reveal the bad doing of some organisations.

• There was some contradiction in their working after the leader of wikileaks was arrested. Anonymous claimed that wikileaks have lost their mission of providing information free of cost to public and is more focused on a single person assange which is not acceptable by anonymous. One of the instant can be taken when wikileaks was demanding money to provide information to which anonymous condemned their working.
