Their creed if you will.
An excerpt from the warning pastebin in 2013:
you have wondered who we are so we shall now tell you we are an international group we have no name
we have no symbol we have no membership rosters we do not have a public
website and we do not advertise ourselves we are a group of individuals
who have proven ourselves much like you have by completing this
recruitment contest and we are drawn together by common beliefs a
careful reading of the texts used in the contest would have revealed
some of these beliefs that tyranny and oppression of any kind must end
that censorship is wrong and that privacy is an inalienable right.
We are not a *hacker* group nor are we a *warez* group we do not engage
in illegal activity nor do our members if you are engaged in illegal activity
we ask that you cease any and all illegal activities or decline membership
at this time we will not ask questions if you decline however if you lie to
us we will find out.
You are undoubtedly wondering what it is that we do. We are much like a
*think tank*; in that our primary focus is on researching and developing
techniques to aid the ideas. We advocate liberty privacy security. You
have undoubtedly heard of a few of our past projects and if you choose
to accept membership we are happy to have you on-board to help with
future projects.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
