Anonymous, the international activist group responsible for white-hat hackings, announced that it intensifies its fight against Russia and other unjust national governments.
Anonymous, the international activist group responsible for white-hat hackings, announced that it intensifies its fight against Russia and other unjust national governments. To this end, it will source funds from crypto projects with “similar conceptions,” such as Cult DAO.
The announcement comes in the wake of the cyber warfare between Anonymous and Russia, which started shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on March 15th. The hacktivist group has often provided support against governments and organizations, which, in its views, act unjustly towards innocent people.
Shortly after the Anonymous announcement on Wednesday, Cult DAO reiterated its support for the hacktivist group by “funding the revolution.”
Cult DAO is a community-driven decentralized autonomous organization seeking to empower individuals into obtaining more financial freedom. This should happen by accelerating the mass adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi), which transfers financial control from centralized institutions into the hands of the people.
In its support-showing tweet, Cult DAO said:
“$CULT is completely decentralized & can fund those causes & revolutionaries which are ordered offline by governments and centralized entities, as we saw in Canada.”
The statement makes a reference to the action from Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, in February. Then, the Canadian government froze the bank accounts of those donating to Ottawa’s Freedom Convoy protest and forced Just Giving to refund 9 million in donations for the protest. In return, people turned to Bitcoin to continue supporting the protests as the popular cryptocurrency cannot be subject to governmental or banking restrictions.
Cult DAO functions according to its manifesto, which aims to support initiatives favoring decentralized financial systems. Showing support for Anonymous against unjust governmental actions aligns with the organization’s ultimate goal. So far, Cult DAO has agreed to donate 13 ETH to the cause.
