Anonymous Targets Nazis

Quote:
Hackers have targeted Germany's far-right with a Wikileaks-style website.

The launch of nazi-leaks.net follows the start of Operation Blitzkrieg, a campaign against neo-nazi and other far-right sites attributed to Anonymous.

The site includes a list of individuals the hacker group alleges are donors to the National Democratic Party (NPD).

The NPD are reported to be considering legal action against the site.

Anonymous is a loose-knit gathering of hackers best known for attacks launched in 2010 against companies such as Mastercard, Visa and Paypal in response to their withdrawal of services from Wikileaks.

A statement purporting to be from Anonymous announced the launch of Operation Blitzkrieg.

"We hereby call to you to identify sites where the nazis gather... collect the data and co-ordinate attacks," it said.

The nazi-leaks.net data, the authenticity of which has not so far been verified, also included some NPD emails, customer lists from far-right stores, as well as contact information from a weekly paper.

Some of the data had already been published online, German media reports suggest.
High volume of traffic

The leak has been criticised by some involved in fighting the far-right, citing privacy concerns.

Simone Rafael from the anti-Nazi web forum netz-gegen-nazis.de told the BBC: "The intention is a good one but I think this is the wrong way to act.

"Putting the addresses and names of people onto the internet is the wrong way to do this.

"This is a lot of data, but there are already some names where it's clear the people are not right-wing extremists."

Some people identified in the data had merely been contacted by right-wing publications seeking interviews, she added.

After the news broke, nazi-leaks.net became inaccessible, possibly because of the high volume of traffic it was experiencing.

However, the information has been mirrored on other websites, including the Anonops communications blog.

I was just watching ze news and they brought this up, seems Canadian authorities are pleased as punch. They'll be able to use the leak to help criminal investigations and hopefully will cut down on recruitment.

Ha ha. Good luck trying to sue Anonymous! Suck it Nazis ^_^

A bit concerning about the false positives though, it said there some of the people listed were only contacted by the right wing publications for interviews.

Well anon is a bunch of vigilantes, and the problem with vigilantes is often they don't check their facts. At least with anon they don't kill anybody.

You must be new to the internet. Generally when Anonymous releases that kind of info its taken to mean that you should harass those people, but hate speech is illegal in several countries like Germany and Canada, so it helps the legal side, and it also helps anti-racist activists know their enemy.

And while its not necessarily illegal in the states, its rather embarrassing for certain GOP candidates: http://www.vice.com/read/yeah-ron-pa...fter-all-sorry

I'm NOT new to the internet, but isn't Anonymous promoting its own hate-speech under the guise of "exposing Nazis"? It's kinda like being the school bully... he knows which kids to pick on the most.

This is racist in its own way, and I'm sorry, but I can't get behind it.

WOW. Are you seriously saying that by exposing people who want to kill others based on race, Nazis are victims of racism?

Yes. Because at this point, Anonymous assumes the role of Nazi. That's all.

My rationalization for this is "Surely she doesn't mean the same kind of Nazis."

I don't really approve of vigilante justice but to call Anonymous Nazis is way off base.

The second. How stupid must someone be to call antifascism a form of fascism?

LoL! Oh man. If the internet was a real sample of the real world, we'd have something to worry about with the likes of people like you.

Luckily, we'll never see people like you weigh in on social issues in any meaningful way. Your numbers are too benign. Your group or at least your demographic are usually so misanthropic, it's surprising you can even conjure up the energy to type out a response on a message board.
