Recently I took the time to sit down with a known Hacktivist, and member of the Anonymous collective, who according to him, directly contributed to Operation #Icarus by successfully accomplishing (DDoS) take downs of 9 major banks over memorial day weekend.

He agreed to the interview under one condition of Anonymity, but proved his claims to me by sending me several screen shots which he told me that I could publish.

The main stream media has been quiet about the operation and some Anons have distanced themselves from the operation calling it an attack against Innocent civilians. 

When I asked, "what's the reason for the Op?" This Anon  assured me that it was "anything but an attack against innocents'" he said that "it was geared specifically toward the Central Banks, the Rothschild's, JP Morgan chase, and the rest of the wall street & banking elites." Anonymous released a list of institutions the collective plans to target, which is divided into four sections; websites associated with the U.S. Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Web sites owned by the World Bank, and over 150 pages associated with national banks around the globe.
