In light of recent events it is clear that some part of American society does recognize the great injustice being done by the corporations and some people seem to support vigilante bringing justice by any means possible, even straight up murder, which is kind of inefficient - they will always find a new CEO. So this inevitably begs the question of what ever happened with hacktivism as a whole? That used to be a thing 10 - 15 years back when I was more impressionable person and it seemed to me like it could bring the change to status quo. These days you can hardly hear anymore about any targeted attacks on greedy corporations with goal to release information to bring them down. It sure looks like most of the hackers have sold out to those corporations for profit or even for free doing bug bounty programs, ignoring the injustice being done by those very same corporations. So what happened to hacktivism? How did it fizzle out after anonymous, lulzsec almost completely?
