Anonymous Hackers Threaten To Release Names Of Ku Klux Klan Members

Making good on a Twitter post from last week, it seems that Anonymous has now struck a major blow against the KKK.

“You made a clear and ever present enemy of Anonymous when you threatened the lives of protesters and the men and women representing Anonymous on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri in November of 2014”.

The announcement is a culmination of a year-long operation by Anonymous callled “Operation KKK” or #OpKKK to bring down the Ku Klux Klan’s websites and online services. Anonymous then commandeered a KKK-linked Twitter account and exposed social media accounts it said belonged to KKK members.

Federal prosecutors say the leader of a Ku Klux Klan chapter in Florida and Georgia was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a gun.

The 24th of November is the day the Grand Jury in St. Louis came back with a decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who many believe wrongfully shot and killed a teenager named Michael Brown earlier in the year. With that said-We are stripping you of your anonymity.

A press release said, “We will release, to the global public, the identities of up to 1000 klan members, Ghoul Squad affiliates and other close associates of various factions of the Ku Klux Klan”. “You operate much more like terrorists and you should be recognized as such”. We took this grudge between us rather seriously.

Anonymous has announced their plans to release the identities of 1,000 Ku Klux Klan members and launch a cyber attack on any websites and social media accounts associated with the white supremacy group.

The message from Operation KKK stressed that the attacks by Anonymous have nothing to do with the KKK’s hateful beliefs, but “because of what you do to our brothers and sisters” when terrorizing them into not taking advantage of their own right to free speech.

Last year, for example, a member of the hacker group mistakenly outed a Missouri police officer as the person responsible for Michael Brown’s shooting. You continue to threaten anons and others …

Now ahead of the anniversary of the protests, Anonymous say they plan to unmask the identities of 1,000 members.
