The two groups are teaming together to hack government institutions.

To increase efforts, we are now teaming up with the Anonymous collective and all affiliated battleships. The hacker group wreaking havoc across corporations and government agencies among other organizations announced Operation Anti-Security moments ago in a post uploaded on Pastebin.
