Dead Cows, Oxblood and Other Cyber Vigilantes: A History of Hacktivism
Hacktivism – hacking for social change – has a rich history that started with a little-known group called the Cult of the Dead Cow.

They examine the legacy of some of the original cyber vigilantes, and new trends in the hacktivist community, from infiltrating spyware vendors to intelligence agencies.
