The Inj3ct0r Team, founded in 2003 according to its website, describes itself as a group of "hacktivists," a combination of the words "hacking" and "activists" that is generally used to describe hackers who break into computers for political reasons or other causes.
 
High-profile attacks on websites from those describing themselves as hacktivists have become increasingly common from groups such as Anonymous, which has kept up a strong hacking campaign against government websites and organizations.
 
Another group, called Lulz Security, recently disbanded after nearly seven weeks of attacks against websites of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Senate, the U.K.'s Serious Organised Crime Agency, the Brazilian government and the energy giant Petrobras, among others.
