Secrets societies aren't all about nocturnal rituals. Internet-based clubs started appearing in 2012 with the secret Cicada 3301 Secret Society, a group that recruits with internet-based puzzles placed online on 4Chan, with clues dropped on Twitter. The challenges focus on cryptography, data security, steganography and internet anonymity. Some speculate Cicada 3301 is a recruitment tool for US or UK intelligence agencies. Others believe it is an alternate reality game or a group advocating for online privacy and freedom of information. There have been no attempts to monetize the society, although the thriller Dark Web adopted the concept.
