The didnt stop there and moved on to other companies that adhere to strict copyright laws. They shut down some websites for dozens of hours allowing users to download content for free. Already at that time Anonymous grew as a group that fought against large corporations for freedom of speech and choice. They generally dream of a free Internet available to everyone. Protecting WikiLeaks This idea became especially relevant when Anonymous stood up for WikiLeaks. In a large number of secret documents appeared on this portal which contained diplomatic analysis of world leaders and assessments of diplomats from different parts of the world.

The socalled Cablegate is the largest release of confidential documents by any Mobile Numbers organization related to domestic affairs human rights and terrorism. It must be understood that WikiLeaks at that time was a nonprofit organization based on donations. At the time major corporations such as Visa MasterCard Paypal and Bank of America either stopped cooperating or blocked transfers from WikiLeaks donors. After all this was a violation of US law. So Anonymous joined the fight to protect WikiLeaks which began with a DDoS attack on Mastercard and Visa payment systems and later on Paypal.
The services were blocked which prevented the mass redirection of traffic to the attacked servers. The lastnamed company Paypal under the pressure of the attacks surrendered and released the funds directed to a special fund them to WikiLeaks. However the account of the organization itself is not unlocked which makes further payments impossible. But the attack itself proved that cohesive communities of hackers can decide the fate of entire companies and corporations. It was clear to everyone that this was just the beginning. PlayStation Network Attack Another highprofile Anonymous campaign involved the PlayStation Network system which was attacked.
