The hacktivist collective known as Anonymous has posted a video on YouTube claiming it will target "elite" establishment figures they claim have a direct connection and involvement in a series of widespread cover-ups about child sex abuse and other offenses.

Anonymous clearly said it's aware of the existence of documents that contain information implicating many important people involved in the cover-up of various child abuse offenses. It alleges these abuses have been going on for many years and encompasses several continents.

The aim of the protest that took place on Feb. 13, a Friday, wasn't to stir worldwide chaos but to release the information into the public domain to promote awareness about the "pedosadist industry."

"This isn't a situation where we are looking to create mayhem. It's about giving the public information so we can confront these problems that go back decades", said a  person claiming to be a member of Anonymous to Sky News .

On the social networking site Twitter, various Anonymous related pages started using the hashtag #OpDeathEaters.

Anonymous labeled those people connected to the child abuse ring as "Death Eaters" and the group claimed the operation doesn't only affect the UK but many countries, as well, according to RT .

Earlier this month, the hacker collective waged an online war on the terrorist group ISIS. After the declaration of war, Anonymous took down more than 800 ISIS controlled websites, along with exposing social network profiles of people known to have connections with the Islamic terrorist group.
