Operation KKK

Published On November 6, 2015 | By Tom Huskerson | News and Analysis

anonThe hacker group Anonymous has released the names of over one thousand KKK members. The group launched Operation KKK in response to the hate groups threat to use force against peaceful protestors after a a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO.

A Twitter account for Operation KKK posted a link to a Pastebin account with the names of  individuals the group believes are members of the Ku Klux Klan.

In previous days other hackers have claimed to have hacked Klan websites and social media accounts to gather names of Klan members. Some of the names released were of prominent politicians including members of the United Sates Senate. Anonymous distanced itself from that release of names and the politicians implicated have strongly denied the accusations.

The hacker who released the names, Amped Attacks, also denied any connection with Anonymous and has offered no definitive evidence of his accusations.

Anonymous followed through on a promise to release the names on November 5th also known as Guy Fawkes Day in Great Britain.
