Newly released documents show the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began tracking the Occupy Wall Street movement long before protesters claimed Zuccotti Park last fall. According to Business Insider, the department focused in particular on the hacker group Anonymous and its support of what turned out to be the inaugural protest of September 17. In a memo, analysts warned “those protests may be accompanied by malicious cyber activity conducted by Anonymous.”
