Recently I spoke with a known Hacktivist and member of the Anonymous collective, who claims to have directly contributed to Operation #Icarus by successfully  (DDoS) taking down 9 major banks over Memorial Day weekend.

He agreed to the interview on the condition of Anonymity, but proved his claims to me by sending me several screen shots.

When I asked, "What's the reason for the Op?," the hacktivist Anon said it was "Anything but an attack against innocents. It was geared specifically toward the Central Banks, the Rothschilds, JP Morgan-Chase, and the rest of the Wall Street and banking elites. The war mongers; those that want World War 3…those who we know are funding ISIS.""
