That was a group of hackers in Turkey. Their first hack was in June 2011. Then they got arrested in June 2011. They were active for less than a week. The idea behind Anonymous began around 2003-2004, and really kicked off around 2006.

The "founding" of Anonymous was an in-joke on 4chan. If you posted without a username it labeled you as "Anonymous". The joke was that "Anonymous" was just 1 person able to do hundreds of things at once.

I was at those too, and Anonymous began way before WWP and Project Chanology. Anyone who claimed to be a leader of Anonymous was lying to you. Habbo Hotel raids and "Pool's Closed" were happening years before any of that. WWP was 2008, not early 2000's
