#opKKK – The hacking collective Anonymous is denying involvement in the Monday leak of alleged Ku Klux Klan members that included several US senators.
“We will release, to the global public, the identities of up to 1,000 Klan members, Ghoul Squad affiliates and other close associates of various factions of the Ku Klux Klan across the United States.”
As promised, early this week someone disclosed online a list of alleged Ku Klux Klan members that included several US senators. The official account for the @Operation_KKK took the distance from the announcement and posted the following message.
The information disclosed by other groups alleged to belong to Anonymous, but not members of #OpKKK, Pastebin, includes total phone numbers and email addresses allegedly belonging to KKK members. The list contains the names of at least 4 U.S. Senators and 5 City Mayors.
Obviously something went wrong, experts speculate that a faction of the collective has moved independently and it wants to influence the @Operation_KKK’s effort. Other experts speculate that someone want to use the Anonymous Brand and the #opKKK to launch a smear campaign against prominent personalities.
At the time I was writing Anonymous is inviting all to join it today for an ALL DAY town hall conversation on race, racism, terror & free speech.( #OpKKK #HoodsOff)
