Anonymous doesn't have "top guys". There is no structure, really. And yes, they've been active lately.
They shut down Cleveland's website after that cop killed Tamir Rice. That was in November.
Script kiddiesYes, they actually do have top guys and do have people calling the shots at times despite what you read in the media.
Anyone can shut down a website. It's incredibly easy if you have basic computer knowledge. The "Anonymous" members that took down cleveland's website are probably middle school nerds.

No disrespect, but I've been building computers since I was a kid and I know some basics of hacking. "Shutting down a website" is anything but simple and is very dependent on the site's security. Sure, shutting down some local business's website isn't terribly difficult, but shutting down, say, VolNation would be pretty difficult and take some work from multiple minds to not only 404 the site, but to maintain the shutdown as well.
Also, Anonymous doesn't really have a hierarchy. It's kind of the point.

But that's useless unless your target network and/or machine has a trojan infection already in place.
Joe, I thought this was a pretty interesting write-up:

Nah, that's the beauty of a ddos attack, it doesn't take an 'infection' - just a whole bunch of bots to 'hit' the target.
Very similar to what we saw on NSD a few years ago right here on VN. Freak had to strip the server down (if memory serves) because so many people were trying to get in - the shear volume of requests brought the whole site to it's knees.
What you would have to have is access to a botted network of computers to hammer an url or IP - that's why you have to pay for it.
Oh, God. CS... to be young again.
That was back when it was a Half-Life mod for you kids out there.
Oh, you're talking about botting a bunch of hits to simply take a website down for as long as you can sustain the barrage. Yeah, haha. You would need at least a dozen machines to just do that. to any website worth taking down, and that might buy you an hour/half.
Do you know the origins of Anonymous? It was just schoolboy vandalism-type stuff. One of the first things they did was take down a game called Habbo Hotel, cause they thought the mods were racist. It's called the great Habbo Raid of 2006. The events are documented on Encyclopedia Dramatica. It's definitely NSFW and would offend the religious and PC, so I'm sure you would enjoy it.
