JAKARTA - The #BlackLivesMatter campaign is getting hotter around the world. In the United States, every day there are hundreds or maybe thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets all over the city. The echo of #BlackLivesMatter echoed everywhere. Twitter, Facebook along with WhatsApp and Instagram also support this movement. The simple thing they do is replace the profile photos on their respective social media platforms with logos in black and white nuances.

The magnitude of this issue also returns Anonymous who has long disappeared. Many call them hacktivists, aka hacker activists. According to metro.co.uk, they are a group of online activists whose main goal is to expose hypocrisy and corruption. In general, BBC.com concludes that Anonymous is an activist. They only target targets believed to be abusing power.

Anonymous is believed to have no leader or central command structure, the priorities of its members can vary because there is no single agenda. They are not organizations, they are groups of individuals who work together because they have the same beliefs and goals.

Ad Akro, an account on Quora.com, admits that he is part of Anonymous. He admits they are sticking to their slogan, which is “We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. " which means “We are Anonymous. We are many. We don't forgive. We didn't forget. Wait for us "

The series of arrests of their members has become one of the reasons for the waning of the group's prestige in recent years. They couldn't be said to have disappeared completely because they were moved by separate individuals. Reporting from Forbes.com, they are now affiliated more loosely to make it harder for law enforcement agencies to track individual networks. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that their recent movements have not been as massive as what they used to do and are now returning to work.

They took the virtual world by storm starting on May 28, three days after George Floyd's death, a video was uploaded to an Anonymous-affiliated Facebook account. Two days after the video went viral, the MPD website went offline temporarily over the last weekend. At the same time, this is also the case for the Minneapolis city website.

Anonymous did not claim to have carried out the attack. It may not be an Anonymous member who carried out the hack, but he could pretend to be a fake member and make this attack look like it was carried out under the name Anonymous.

In addition, part of the UN website, to be precise the United Nations Civil Society Participation also appears to have been hacked. The content of the website was transformed into the words "Rest in Power, George Floyd" complete with a photo of George and the Anonymous logo.

Furthermore, there are several videos circulating on Twitter showing Chicago police radio frequencies playing the NWA's "Fuck The Police" song. Public assuming this was done by Anonymous too. But experts doubt that if the hack actually took place, the video could have been made by the demonstrators.

Anonymous has also raised longstanding accusations against Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Naomi Campbell, and many others - reportedly linked to Jeffrey Epstein, a suspect in child sex trafficking in Florida and New York. They distributed Jeffry Epstein's "little black book" which contains the contacts of all Jeffry's connections, as well as documents relating to this case and have been verified as authentic. All joined in the hashtag #OpDeathEaters.

The hashtag also shelters news that Anonymous exposed the murder case of Princess Diana by The Royal Family because he had a video stating that they were involved in the sex trafficking case of minors.

The virtual universe is waiting for Anonymous's next action. Their whereabouts are unknown, but the public believes they know a lot. However, will this attack really deter the guilty parties? Could this threat bring things to an end?
