They’re formally organized groups with CEOs, boards of directors, membership lists, bank accounts, etc. Suing them should prove no more difficult than suing Exxon or The Salvation Army.

I looked this bit up: Naming a John Doe in a lawsuit is actually an accepted and fairly common legal procedure. It means that the person has not been positively identified at the time the suit was filed, but their actions regarding the lawsuit are known to the plaintiffs. It’s done primarily to ensure that any statutory time limits don’t expire.
As a fr’instance, let’s say you have major surgery and feel you might be the victim of malpractice. Since you were (it is to be hoped) unconscious during the surgery, you can’t positively identify all the people in the operating room. So, your attorney files suit against, ‘St. Bingo Teaching Hospital and Dr. John Doe’ to preserve the time limit until the hospital coughs up the records of who did what.
