Headless band of happy hackers Anonymous has made a website called Anonymous Analytics, designed, it says, to put "investigative reports exposing corrupt companies" in the public eye.
In its publicity puff, Anonymous claims to have "made international headlines by exposing The Church of Scientology, supporting anti-corruption movements in Zimbabwe and India, and providing secure platforms for Iranian citizens to criticize their government."
Anonymous Analytics, it announces, "has moved the issue of transparency from the political level to the corporate level. To this end, we use our unique skill sets to expose companies that practice poor corporate governance and are involved in large-scale fraudulent activities."
The site kicks of with an expose of corporate corruption at Chinese company Chaoda Modern Agriculture sub-titled 11 Years of Deceit and Corporate Fraud, which seeks to catalogue a series of shenanigans that may have cost investors some $400 million over an eleven-year period.

With more than a passing nod to Google's own Analytics service, which provides forensic information on website traffic, AA seeks to do the same for companies caught acting against the pubic interest.
Anonymous says it has a team of "analysts, forensic accountants, statisticians, computer experts, and lawyers from various jurisdictions and backgrounds" to help in its mission to become a Wikileaker for corporate corruption by fair means or foul.
