Alberto Daniel Hill introduces and reflects on a publication titled "My Life in Anonymous: An Atonement" by a former hacktivist known as Dexer. The discussion traces Dexer's decade-long journey from an observer to an active member of Anonymous, detailing his group's efforts to legitimize themselves in information security.
