Team Bastet

Team Calico is a hacktivist group formed in 2015. It mainly targets scammers, spammers, and other non-hacktivist hackers. More recently, as of 2020, it has taken an anti-cryptocurrency stance.

Team Calico is rumoured to be associated with ArgosyMTM Group, due to using characters from The Aaron Show in their publicity, but both Ellen Peck and Team Calico leaders deny this.

History of hacks

 * Mid-to-late 2021: Operation ClosedSea DDOS attack on OpenSea and other NFT platforms, due to allegations of massive art theft.
