Leaders of the Hacktivist Movement Anonymous: A Revealing Documentary





In 2020, the hacktivist network known as Anonymous resurfaced after years of relative quiet. "We will expose your many crimes to the world," proclaimed a masked messenger from the Minneapolis police in a video that quickly went viral on the Internet.

This documentary takes us deep into the world of Commander X, one of the most famous, feisty, and outspoken figures in the history of the international online movement. Commander X is ready to share his remarkable story and unveil not only the "how" but also the "why" behind Anonymous' modus operandi.

Christopher Mark Doyon, also known as Commander X, personifies the journey of American activism "from the streets to the Internet and then back to the streets," as journalist and author David Kushner puts it. Kushner is just one of the many observers, comrades-in-arms, and adversaries who provide context and, at times, a reality check to Commander X's tumultuous and contentious odyssey.

We learn that Doyon is an old-school revolutionary. As a computer-loving teenager, he escaped a troubled childhood in rural Maine, traversed various activist hotspots, and began hacking long before most of us were familiar with the term. He sees himself as a freedom fighter who helped shape the 21st century.

When PayPal, Mastercard, and VISA blocked the use of their services to support Wikileaks, Commander X spearheaded the attack on their websites. It was a move that cost these companies millions and alerted the FBI to the power of Anonymous. When the Egyptian government shut down the Internet during the Arab Spring, Commander X was one of the leading hackers who helped restore connectivity.
