Ryan was one of those IRC mods, and this weekend he proceeded with an attack that seized control of the AnonOps servers away from the small cabal of leaders who ran it. Though Anonymous is often described as leaderless, factions like AnonOps by necessity have a loose structure servers must be paid for, domain names must be registered, chat channels must have at least some moderation.
Pointing IRC clients at or would connect anyone to the servers, where they could then join channels like "#OpSony" and participate in various Anon activities. The main Internet chat servers used by Anonymous have been run by a group called "AnonOps," which provides communications platforms for the group. His attack has sparked a debate over the "leadership" of Anonymous. That network, used by Anons to plan and conduct attacks, was taken over by one of its own, an IRC moderator known as "Ryan." War rages between competing factions within the hacker collective Anonymous after this weekend's drama-filled takeover of the main Anonymous IRC server network.
