AgainstTheWest (ATW) is a hacktivist group that first emerged on October 14, 2021, on RaidForums as a data leak group. The group comprises individuals assessed to be primarily from Switzerland, France, Poland, and Canada, and identifies as pro-Western. Its primary motivation is ideological opposition to authoritarian and corrupt governments, particularly targeting the Chinese Communist Party over issues such as the Uighur genocide, aggression against Taiwan, and actions in Hong Kong. ATW distinguishes itself by frequently releasing stolen data, including source code, for free, often demonstrating a lack of financial motivation by accepting easily traceable cryptocurrencies and indicating disinterest in sales if data does not attract buyers. While initially focused on China, the group expanded its operations to include Russia, Belarus, Iran, and North Korea. The group has also been associated with the alias BlueHornet.
