Hackers Release Personal Information of Alleged KKK Members
Last week, hackers claiming to be affiliated with the hacktivist group Anonymous (as well as alone vigilante) threatened to publish personal information and “dox” members of the racist group the Ku Klux Klan.
Over the weekend, the hackers delivered on their promises. An Anonymous-affiliated group called YourAntiSec, in reference to a famous hacking operation launched by the Anonymous offshoot LulzSec in the summer of 2011, published a list of phone numbers and email addresses that they claim belong to members and admins of KKK websites.
The hackers released the information in a series of Pastebins. It’s unclear who the phone numbers and emails belong to exactly, or how the hackers obtained them. (The hackers declined to say where they obtained the information.) Some of the numbers, however, appear to be inactive.
