Think of "Anonymous" as just a mask, as in there is no real defined or persistent group between movements or 'attacks'. It's just a hat that gets passed/thrown around.

My experience tells me that the ones currently posing as this iteration are just a bunch of people with various levels of computer experience/skill who met on some darkweb channel and decided to pool their resources.

Whether or not there is proof is unknown, but it's a possibility, which could sow seeds of distrust/discontent into more of the population.
