What’s more, they posted a link to these messages on the internet through…..Barr’s twitter account. Yes, they hacked that too. The messages posted revealed how HBGary aimed to act against WikiLeaks and how Hunton & Williams, the firm responsible for organizing the campaign against WikiLeaks, contacted HBGary to target political organizations that were critical of the U.S Chamber of Commerce.
3.Donald Trump’s Website Hack (2015):
Donald Trump caught the attention of people all over the world when he said that he wanted all Muslims to be barred from entering the United States of America.

1.ISIS Website Attack (2015):
Ghost Sec, a group related with Anonymous, took down a website that copied and shared ISIS propaganda and placed the message to Calm Down along with an ad. The ad was related to an online pharmacy that sold drugs like Viagra and Prozac, with the message saying that there was too much ISIS. The full message was ‘Enhance your calm. Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff. Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all do desperately crave.” Although many ISIS-supporting websites have been moving to the dark web in order to evade the authorities, they have been unable to keep out Anonymous, for they have no jurisdiction.

"Beneath this mask there's more than flesh.
Beneath this mask there's an idea, Mr. creedy,
and ideas are bulletproof."
