Anonymous: 'We have access to every classified database in the US' — RT
Businesses have suggested it. The government has all but confirmed it. And according to one alleged member, they both might very well be right. A hacker tied to Anonymous says the loose-knit collective may be the most powerful organization on Earth.
"The entire world right now is run by information,” Chris Doyon tells Postmedia News from an undisclosed location in Canada. “Our entire world is being controlled and operated by tiny invisible 1s and 0s that are flashing through the air and flashing through the wires around us. So if that’s what controls our world, ask yourself who controls the 1s and the 0s”
“It’s the geeks and computer hackers of the world,” says Doyon.
In a world where the most critical of information isn’t locked up in vaults but instead encoded in easily obtainable binary, Doyon says that crackers like those in Anonymous are in possession of some of the most powerful knowledge known to man.
Doyon, who is reported to be in his late 40s, was charged last year for partaking in a Distributed Denial of Service attack on the website for the county of Santa Cruz, California. Since February, however, he has resided in Canada after using what he says is the new “underground railroad” to escape persecution for alleged computer crimes in the States.
Authorities say that, under the handle of Commander X, Doyon acted as a ringleader of sorts of the Anonymous collective, an operation described by its own participants as one that lacks leadership altogether.
"If you are asking me if he's an activist and tried to change the world for better. Yes, he did. I don't know if that makes him a member of Anonymous, but he is certainly an activist working on social change for the betterment of mankind," his attorney, Jay Leiderman, told Cnet in September.
“Yes, I am immensely proud and humbled to my core to be a part of the movement known as Anonymous," Doyon reportedly told reporters upon leaving a California courthouse last year.
Regardless of if he can actually be linked to the organization — and to what degree — Doyon says that the group is capable of more than one might imagine.
“Right now we have access to every classified database in the US government. It’s a matter of when we leak the contents of those databases, not if,” says Doyon.
It wasn’t computer nerds slaving over codes to help crack the system uncover that info either, says Doyon.
