In order to overcome the dilemma of privacy on internet, FBI has requested an amendment in the Rule 41 of Federal rules of criminal procedure.

According to the proposed amendment, FBI will have more control over overseas computer in an attempt to safeguard user’s anonymity in the world of internet. Furthermore, FBI will also enjoy seizure of any target whose identity is concealed by any technological means (TOR, VPN technology, proxies or hosted somewhere on darknet).

Anonymous Set For Second Million Mask March on 5 November

Anonymous is calling on all members to join a global event on 5 November to protest against war crimes, abuse of power and infringement of civil liberties.

Launched last year, the Million Mask March was organised by the hacktivist group Anonymous to protest at a huge range of issues from government corruption to NSA spying and war crimes.

On 5 November 2013, marches took place at over 400 locations around the globe, with thousands of people gathering in London to take part in the march - including comedian Russell Brand. The event was organised to coincide with Guy Fawkes Day, reflecting the iconic Guy Fawkes mask which has become a symbol of Anonymous.


The event in London last year was peaceful for the most part but there were 15 arrests with some protesters turning violent when the large police presence tried to remove them.

Some of the protestors were also arrested for starting a fire in front of Buckingham Palace

Operation Vendetta

The 2014 running of the event will be under the banner of Operation Vendetta, one of Anonymous' on-going campaigns protesting against government corruption.

"November 5th is a day of international rebellion against oppressive governments, on this day, Anonymous UK will unite with the world wide collective and take to the streets for a protest like none that has ever been seen in history," a video announcing the second Million Mask March said.

The event in London will begin at 6pm on 5 November at Trafalgar Square and like last year is likely to move down Whitehall to parliament.

Anonymous Declares War Against Hong Kong Police

quote:

Report: Hacker collective Anonymous joins Hong Kong’s Occupy Central

Reporting on the hacker collective Anonymous is always fraught. This loosely organized group has no clear leader and no clear agenda. The anarchic nature of its technological attacks make it difficult to establish a who-what-where-when-why. And, of course, hackers use nom de guerres. Heck: Even the Islamic State has a spokesman.

Yet, in attacks on Israel, Visa and, to a lesser extent, Ferguson, Mo., showed that Anonymous — whoever and whatever it is at any given time — can be effective. Unlike 4chan, which revels in naked celebrity pics, it seems to have a social conscience. And its propaganda — straight out of “V for Vendetta” — makes good copy.

“Members of Anonymous — the shadowy, snide international collective of hackers and online activists — have played a key role in the growing confrontation outside St. Louis over Mr. Brown’s death,” the New York Times wrote in August, “goading and threatening the authorities, and calling the effort Operation Ferguson.”

So here goes: Anonymous has code on the ground in Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post reports. The group announced it will wage cyberwar on the government in a video circulated through the Web site News2share.

“It has come to our attention that recent tactics used against peaceful protesters here in the United States have found their way to Hong Kong,” a mechanical-sounding voice in the video says. “To the protesters in Hong Kong, we have heard your plea for help. Take heart and take to your streets. You are not alone in this fight. Anonymous members all over the world stand with you, and will help in your fight for democracy.

The video goes on to threaten to “deface and take every Web-based asset of your government off line.”

The South China Morning Post posted images of some Web sites it said were affected (warning: link contains profanity), but did not identify them. “Despite these vehement threats, the hacks thus far appear to be not on government websites but rather small organisations – including an Autism Partnership site – registered with a .hk domain name,” the paper wrote.

A list of Hong Kong government agency Web sites appears here. Early Thursday morning, many seemed un-hacked. Then again, Anonymous said it was offering its “first and only warning,” so perhaps it hasn’t acted yet.

Erdogan: 'Ik ben in toenemende mate een tegenstander van internet'


De Turkse premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan is 'elke dag in toenemende mate een tegenstander van het internet.' Hij heeft dit volgens de voorzitter van het Committee to Protect Journalists gisteren zelf gezegd tijdens een conferentie over persvrijheid. Tegelijkertijd zou Erdogan beloofd hebben de persvrijheid in Turkije te verbeteren.

Eerder deze maand voerde de regering van Erdogan een wet door waardoor de overheid meer controle heeft over het internet en telecommunicatie. Dit gebeurde ondanks het feit dat Turkije internationaal werd berispt voor pogingen om YouTube en Twitter te blokkeren, waarop dagelijks beschuldigingen van corruptie werden gepubliceerd. Zelf noemde Erdogan het publiceren van belastende informatie over hem 'chantage'.

Erdogan ziet in het vrije internet vooral een gevaar, stelde hij tijdens de anderhalf uur durende ontmoeting met internationale verdedigers van vrije journalistiek. Zo is hij bang dat criminelen en terroristische organisaties online leden werven.

Mikpunt van spot
Ook stelde Erdogan dat 'media nooit de vrijheid hadden moeten krijgen om te beledigen.' De premier werd onlangs zelf het mikpunt van spot nadat hij had beweerd dat vrouwen niet moeten lachen in het openbaar. Op sociale media verschenen vervolgens veel foto's van Turkse vrouwen waarop zij de politicus uitlachten.

Hoewel Rowe het niet eens is met het beleid van de Turkse regering, voelt ze zich aangemoedigd door het feit dat ze bereid zijn verdedigers van vrije pers te ontmoeten: 'We zijn blij met hun beloftes en we geloven dat de Turkse regeringsleiders de ernst van de internationale bezorgdheid inzien.'

Anonymous Hackers Threaten Chinese Government with Website Blackouts and Data Leaks

Online activist group anonymous has warned authorities in Hong Kong and China that it will launch a massive attack on websites and leak tens of thousands of government email address details.

The group said on Friday that it will carry out its latest threat on Saturday through a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

"Here's your heads up, prepare for us, try to stop it, the only success you will have will be taking all your sites offline," Anonymous said in a statement.

"China, you cannot stop us. You should have expected us before abusing your power against the citizens of Hong Kong."

The hacktivist group announced its support of the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong at the start of October, stating in a video: "The time has come for democracy for the citizens of Hong Kong."

Since then, five suspected members of the group have been arrested in the region in connection with hacking attacks on Hong Kong's government websites.

The latest attack will apparently target websites of China's Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Public Security, and the Hong Kong police.

"If this is true, it will show that the Chinese government is a victim of internet hacking," Hong Lei, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, said at a news briefing on Friday morning.

"China has consistently stressed our opposition to all internet hacking activities. We rebuke the acts of the organisation."

Anonymous's original message to protestors in Hong Kong said: "To the protesters in Hong Kong, we have heard your plea for help. You are not alone in this fight. Anonymous members all over the world stand with you and will help in your fight for democracy.

"To the Hong Kong police and any others that are called to the protests, we are watching you very closely and have already begun to wage war on you for your inhumane actions against your own citizens."

Protests in the former British colony started last month after Beijing decided it was to screen candidates for the first election in the territory in 2017.

The Really Dark Internet

quote:

Deception and Propaganda in Social Media

A year after the revelations by Edward Snowden, more or less everybody is aware of the astonishing extent of online surveillance. An outcome of this increased awareness is the development of various protective measures, including encryption practices, privacy protection measures as well as the development of anonymised platforms, such as Kwikdesk, an anonymous and ephemeral version of Twitter. However, other aspects of state and corporate control of social media have received less attention. In the face of rising inequality and increasing political mobilisation from the bottom, the ruling class must pro-actively defend the current power structures and a way to do this includes not only surveillance, but also deception and propaganda in social media. The really dark Internet is a reference to this layer of surveillance and disinformation – the spread of false information which intends to undermine, confuse, disrupt, and eventually defuse any socio-political action that threatens to unsettle the status quo.

With surveillance a given, we must now begin to learn about strategies and tactics of deception and disinformation, coming from states, reactionary and fascist political groupings, and corporations.

While a lot has been written on the signal intelligence contents of the NSA documents, less is known about the kinds of human intelligence used by government agencies and corporations. In a leaked NSA presentation which would have made Goebbels proud, a British spy agency – the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) – explicitly refers to its digital propaganda tactics: the circulation of false information aimed at destroying the reputation of its targets and the use of insights from the social sciences in order to manipulate online communications in line with their political objectives.

The presentation goes on to list techniques for dissimulation or ‘hiding the real’ through ‘masking, repackaging, and dazzling’, and for simulation, or ‘showing the false’ through ‘mimicking, inventing and decoying’; it goes on to refer to techniques for managing attention, infiltrating networks, planting ruses and causing disruption. The aim is to build ‘cyber-magicians’, who can confuse and manipulate ‘targets’. The presentation concludes by estimating that ‘by 2013 JTRIG will have a staff of 150+, fully trained’. Though we cannot be sure of the status of such plans following the leaks, it would be naïve to assume that they have been dropped.

Eminem, Ice Cube and Korn Team Up with Anonymous to Call For Global Revolution

Omnipotent #WaveOfAction

quote:

‘Everything’s corrupt, everything’s fu*ked up.’

The word “epic” long ago lost all its linguistic potency when Burger King and Hot Topic began to use it in the advertisement of their products. Yet if ever if there was an occasion to resurrect the term, it would be to describe the music video released today by elements of Anonymous along with Ice Cube, Eminem, and Korn.

They team up to splice together a nuance-eschewing, face-melting, testosterone-charged collaboration meant to incept a massive wave of action against the seemingly indomitable power of corporatist-totalitarianism within the world’s leading liberal republics.

The video features some hilarious spots of Rob Ford–perhaps the Western world’s most flamboyant symbol of transparent corpo-political stoogism–as well as the mainstream media’s two favorite tools of distraction, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. There are also a number of clips of Obama acting especially bourgeois while surrounded by animated cameras, implying that the spying-industrial-complex is an apolitical institution supported and grown by whichever political party is in office.




It might be the most insane music video you’ve seen in a long time–and for some, it may inspire the visceral outrage necessary to orient toward a path of action. Others will just roll their eyes.

Check out the video below, and keep in mind the Worldwide Wave of Action begins on April 4 at “former occupation sites around the world.”

Charges dropped for #PayPal14 hacktivists, company launches #PayPal15 trend

quote:

Felony charges have been dropped against 11 of the 14 Anonymous-linked hacktivists who pleaded guilty to waging a cyber-attack on the PayPal website. Meanwhile, the company has been derided on Twitter for launching a new promo campaign tagged #PayPal15.

Known as part of the “PayPal 14,” the 11 originally reached plea deals with federal prosecutors in December 2013, admitting their participation in an online attack that briefly took down the PayPal website nearly four years ago.

After entering guilty pleas to one felony count of conspiracy and one misdemeanor count of damaging a computer, their sentencing was delayed for nearly a year. If the defendants could demonstrate good behavior during that time, they could potentially escape only with probation and restitution payments.

The defendants appeared in federal court on Wednesday, where each person heard whether the court would follow through with the charges or drop them, according to Texas-based journalist Douglas Lucas.

G20 blanket ban on masks is not supported by security laws, expert says

Former Queensland solicitor general argues protesters wearing masks ‘to make a political point’ have a lawful excuse, but police say ban remains

Security laws do not support a blanket ban by police on people wearing masks while protesting the G20 meeting in Brisbane this week, according to the former Queensland solicitor general.

Barrister Walter Sofronoff, who was solicitor general from 2005 until he resigned in March, said it might be lawful to wear masks in the controlled area of the inner city in order “to make a political point”.

His opinion raises questions about police attempts to use the G20 security act to prevent protesters – including those under the Anonymous group – from taking masks into the “declared area”, where everything from guns and knives to large banners, tin cans and eggs will also be banned.

Police appear to have shifted their stance on the use of megaphones, which their negotiators previously said would lead to protests being shut down.

A police spokeswoman told Guardian Australia in a statement that protest leaders would be allowed to use megaphones to rally and organise crowds.

“The police have determined that if the leader of a protest group has a megaphone for the purpose of coordinating, organising and for the safety of the group this will be permitted,” she said.

“However, the possession or use of a megaphone by the protest leader or any other member of the protest group for the purpose of disrupting a G20 meeting will not be permitted.”

Negotiators have also told protest organisers that Guy Fawkes masks worn by members of digital activist group Anonymous would not be allowed.

This has prompted an online call from some Anonymous members to defy the ban, while other protesters are expected to wear masks as part of theatrical costumes to illustrate political points.

Asked if police were reviewing their position on masks, the spokeswoman said they were not.

“They are still prohibited and if a person does not have a lawful excuse police will enforce that aspect of the law,” she said.

Sofronoff told Guardian Australia that wearing a mask as “a political statement” would qualify as a “lawful excuse” under the act.

“I may be wearing a mask to make a political point because symbolism is also part of political speech, just as political donations are,” Sofronoff said.

Sofronoff said no Australian law was valid if it obstructed freedom of political speech “unless it is reasonably adapted to a proper end consistent with maintaining our system of government”.

“The proper end that this law serves is the protection of the security of the visitors to G20,” Sofronoff said.

This meant the arrest of someone wearing a mask who appeared to be a genuine threat of disrupting the G20 meeting would be valid.

“But it’s not a blanket prohibition against masks, it’s a prohibition against masks provided you don’t have a reasonable excuse, and a reasonable excuse is, ‘I’m making a political statement’,” he said.

“On the other hand, if I’m wearing a mask, and standing on the steps where Obama’s going to walk up, and a policeman says, what’s your reasonable excuse – at that point there’s a strong argument they need to see the faces of people.

“But not when you’re marching through Queen St, one of 200 peaceful people chanting and screaming but offering no threat.”

Sofronoff’s interpretation is at odds with police who have told protest groups that peaceful protest was not a lawful excuse for carrying prohibited items.

Protest organisers have told police that confrontations over such issues at demonstrations would result in “a rapid loss in goodwill”.

Sofronoff noted the G20 laws allowed protest groups to “march to your heart’s content” in the declared area without seeking permission from police.

Jon Cowden, the Forgotten #Anonymous: an interview

Jon Cowden is the most famous Anonymous member of which nobody has heard.

He was sentenced in March of last year for hacking into Israeli websites as part of the ongoing Anonymous Ops against Israel and in favour of Gaza. By cracking the websites, he gained access to information which he then posted freely online. Contrary to reports that he served one month, he says, “I was sentenced last year and served 13 months and two days. Not one month at all. I got sentenced to 15 months but served 85% of that.” That number doesn’t cover the (increasingly routine) pretrial custodial period, nor the period during the trial, when he was also in custody.

Interestingly, even the online report of his specific exploits have been censored out of existence. It’s almost FBI self-parody.

We caught up with Cowden, now out and looking for employment, via email. As a newly released prisoner, he was eager to speak about the challenges facing someone wishing to put his past behind him and contribute to society in legally sanctioned ways.

KKK Vows To Kill Ferguson Black Protesters, Secret Meetings With Police

quote:

The Ku Klux Klan has openly declared that they will use lethal force against Ferguson protesters, a claim more threatening to the people of Ferguson, a 60 percent African American community, as claims again emerge that the Klan is in secret discussions with local police.



The KKK began distributing a flier in the St. Louis area promising to use lethal force against any protesters in Ferguson they deem as violent.



Frank Ancona, imperial wizard of the KKK chapter, spoke with the Riverfront Times about the flier and intentions of the KKK as large-scale protests loom with the approaching grand jury announcement in the police officer Darren Wilson case in which he shot unarmed Michael Brown, an African American youth with his hands in the air, saying, “Don’t Shoot!”



KKK members were reportedly raising money to support Wilson, their “hero” as they called him for shooting Brown.

Anonymous Hacks Ku Klux Klan Twitter Accounts and Websites Following Ferguson Threats

Anonymous has taken control of two Twitter accounts related to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) after the white supremacist group threatened "lethal force" on anyone protesting in Ferguson, Missouri.

Anonymous, the global online hacktivist movement, has taken control of two official Twitter accounts associated with the KKK as well as knocking four of the organisation's websites offline.

IBTimes UK has learned from the Anonymous members involved that several email accounts associated with the KKK have also been compromised in the last 24 hours and it has begun doxxing (publicly revealing a person's identity and personal information) of the KKK group which has been threatening them.

It is also promising to publish "many documents" relating to the KKK in the coming hours.

The takeover of the Twitter accounts comes after several days when insults and threats were traded online between the two groups with the KKK claiming Anonymous would not be able to do anything:

#BBCTrending: Anonymous takes on the Ku Klux Klan

Did the hacktivist group Anonymous go too far in fighting the KKK?

With a promise that "This is just the beginning," the international hacktivist group Anonymous continued to control the Ku Klux Klan's online presence on Tuesday days after the KKK threatened to hurt potential protesters in Ferguson, Missouri. On social media, many celebrated the online group's actions.

The Anonymous cyberwar started during the weekend after the white supremacist group issued a warning to any potential rioters waiting for a grand jury decision on a possible charges against Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August.

Using the hashtags #OpKKK and #HoodsOff, Anonymous "unhooded" alleged Klan members online, and provided links to social media accounts which contained their photos, addresses, phone numbers, ages, workplaces, and photos of their children.

Most Twitter users appeared supportive of Anonymous.

"I daresay that @KuKluxKlanUSA will remember, remember, remember the 16th of November. Bravo, Anonymous, Bravo. #oppKKK #hoodsoff," wrote Carlos Larkin.

After back-and-forth taunting, in which the KKK wrote "We are continuing to read Anonymous threats with much amusement" and "I thought you Anons were all about free speech. Cowards!", Anonymous gained access to the KKK website and took over its Twitter account.

The most recent tweet from the hacked @KuKluxKlanUSA account was on Monday evening, showing a unicorn and rainbow in front of a sunset scene.

Responding to criticism about violating free speech, Anonymous released this statement:

"We are not attacking you because of what you believe in, as we fight for freedom of speech. We are attacking you because of your threats to use lethal attacks against us at the Ferguson protests… The Ku Klux Klan is a terrorist group. The blood of thousands of human beings are on the hands of the Klansmen."

Although every American has a right to free speech, The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organisation that tracks hate groups, argues that the right does not include permission to organise hate crimes.

But while they have also exposed members of hate groups, they take a different approach than that of Anonymous.

"As a general matter, we will out people if we feel they are major player in the movement," said Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Law Center.

"We would never post pictures of their kids, or where they live. We don't out any small person who has radical right views; only if they are hiding behind anonymity to do something really loathsome."

For its part, Anonymous is not giving up.

"Let the cyberwar begin," it announced in a video. "We are legion. We do not forget. We do not forgive. Ku Klux Klan, you should have expected us."

ANONYMOUS Claims Ferguson Police Working Directly With Klu Klux Klan

TAK KKK and Police Ties Statement

quote:

Several days ago, the South East Missouri Chapter of the KKK known as TAKKKK distributed flyers in Ferguson, MO making lethal threats toward activists on the ground. In response, several activists asked Anonymous to launch #OpKKK. Local Anons in the St Louis and Ferguson area then launched #HoodsOff as a way to identify Klan members who might try to embed themselves within the protester community. After identifying multiple members of TAKKKK, we discovered that 3 of the highest ranking members were present at a Darren Wilson rally in Imperial, MO, that had previously been rumored to be organized by the Klan. At the time of the rally, both The Klan, and the organization known as “We Support Darren Wilson” denied this claim, and it was then dropped. But, after several identities of TAKKKK members where posted online, the “We Support Darren Wilson” group removed multiple photos from social media that where taken at the rally. The photos where removed from social media BEFORE we made public our findings. This made us suspicious, and we then continued to search for the Darren Wilson/TAKKKK connection.

The circumstantial evidence was overwhelming.

Then we got a tip.

A source came forward claiming they had information that would link Frank Ancona and TAKKKK to Darren Wilson and the events unfolding in Ferguson. After multiple conversations with the informant, we where able to confirm this person was not connected to Darren Wilson, but instead had direct ties to his girlfriend, Ferguson Police Officer Barbara Spradling. We where so focused on Darren Wilson himself, that we let the fact slip by us that Officer Spradling was from the Imperial, MO area where Ancona co-organized the fundraiser for Darren Wilson. During the time that we where verifying this information, the global collective of Anonymous joined in on #OpKKK thereby taking this operation to the next level, taking multiple Klan websites off line, and taking over the national KKK twitter page. #OpKKK then began to gain the attention of media around the world, and death threats towards Anons from Ancona and other members of TAKKKK started to come our way.

Then, early yesterday morning we received an email from our whistle blower that read like this:

. “This has gotten out of control. They want to kill you. And after you release this information, they will want to kill me. I am scared for my life right now. I am begging you to please do not release the information that I gave. I’m afraid that because the information I provided is so specific, that it will definately be traced back to me, and I will be in danger. I am a long time supporter of Anonymous, and have trusted you with my identity. Now I feel my life is in your hands. I’m begging you please. I have a family to think of.”

All Anons involved in this where immediatly notified, and spent most of yesterday discussing this matter. We went back and forth about this situation, and debated on how to handle this plea from the whistle blower. We decided to try and take the information that we where given and connect the dots ourselves. We were unsuccessful. After much deliberation, we have decided as important as this information was, we will not endanger the life of any person. We believe the information to be too specific to this person to release to the public. We will instead, hold this information until we can connect the dots ourselves, without putting innocent lives at risk.

We are confident that as we continue to expose members of the terrorist organization TAKKKK, we will no doubt connect them to Ferguson Law enforcement on our own. Ex TAKKKK member Henry Harrell has come forward saying,

“I know for a fact that the TAKKKK had a lot to do with what went on in Ferguson”

He then stated that certain law enforcement in the area are silent members of TAKKKK known as “Ghoul Squad” and continued by outing the recently deceased Leadwood, MO Police Chief as a TAKKKK member.

We know for a fact that Ancona was called in to Ferguson by Ghoul Squad members employed by both Ferguson and St Louis County PD. We will continue our efforts to expose all law enforcement affiliated with TAKKKK, while at the same time protecting activists on the ground in Ferguson fighting for justice.

Furthermore, the global collective of Anonymous promises to continue it’s war on the terrorist group known as the KKK.

Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous by Gabriella Coleman – review

Anonymous are back – this week the group hacked the Ku Klux Klan. This is a long-awaited and compelling study of the hactivist collective

In September, photos of naked celebrities were hacked and then posted on the image-sharing website 4chan, to the shock and surprise of much of the world’s media. Gabriella Coleman would not have been surprised. On 4chan, posting nudes of strangers and celebrities happens almost every day: and this exciting, dreadful, raucous website provides the opening scene for her long-awaited story of the hacktivist collective Anonymous. The movement evolved, from a loose collective of teenaged 4channers posting porn, into one of the most interesting and unusual groups of our time, terrifying businesses, governments and individuals with their hacking and programming skills.

Coleman, who accidentally stumbled into 4chan while studying Scientology, expertly guides the reader through this surprising evolution. The story of Anonymous begins with members of 4chan getting dragged into an online fight with Scientologists, who had been trying to prevent people from sharing a bizarre video of its most famous adherent, Tom Cruise, online. The 4channers were emboldened by success and shifted to politics, attacking the PayPal website for refusing to accept donations for the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks. The book really comes alive in early 2011, when these activists (“anons”), having adopted their name, turned their gaze to Tunisia, alerting an initially indifferent media to the revolution and exposing the corrupt Tunisian government, before lending support to the worldwide Occupy movement. Coleman is in the thick of it throughout, watching the group’s activity subsequently fracture into more militant and random attacks against businesses and governments, and as the FBI and other police forces start to prosecute several of its main protagonists.

Anyone interested in Anonymous, or the shape of protest in the age of the internet, will find abundant new details and smart insight here. Coleman has enjoyed unique access to the shadowy group’s inner workings, its core members and its secretive chat rooms. For all the computer wizardry, it is still a real movement of real people.

Yet she is often too present in her story, and the result is unnecessary detail (“I felt OK, but a little tired – certainly under-caffeinated”) or self-admiration. Coleman, who used the pseudonym Biella, quotes anons talking about her: “I don’t think she realises how much she’s contributed to Anonymous.” Later she documents a demonstration she attended, where “on seeing me, a pair of [anons] nodded. One gave me a thumbs up and told me to ‘keep up the good work’.”

She is not quite Margaret Mead in Samoa, but at times her chats with anons on internet relay channels (used by anons to communicate) give the strong impression she’d rather like to be a hacktivist herself. Her language throughout betrays her loyalties. Anonymous’s announcement declaring war on Scientology is “poetic and inspirational”; its members are “contemporary trickster figures” who wear a mask that “functions as a eternal beacon, broadcasting the value of equality”. She admits to being so angry with Sabu – the Anonymous snitch recruited by the FBI – that “it took a month before my anger receded enough” for her to talk to him again.

She amply demonstrates that Anonymous have done much that is admirable, and that the group is far more complex than the press caricature of basement-dwelling criminals. They tend to fight for things most of us support: privacy online, freedom of expression, government transparency. But too little attention is given to the way they trample over others to get there. One of their early targets was Hal Turner, a neo-Nazi. Repellent – but is it okay for a vigilante mob to relentlessly attack him? Members of the radical, ballsy offshoot of Anonymous, Lulzsec, hacked media outlets because they didn’t like a TV show; went after the NHS; hacked a Skype call between the FBI, Metropolitian police and the Garda; leaked the email messages, names, phone numbers, home addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona police officers; defaced the website of the centre-right Irish political party Fine Gael; and uploaded thousands of email addresses of innocent people. Coleman doesn’t denounce this, preferring to stress that Lulzsec “demonstrated the importance of art, expression, autonomy, and creation through unalienated labour”. She includes a thoughtful and much-needed discussion of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS ) – a way to bring down a website – as a form of legitimate political protest, but she thinks it is hypocritical for the British spy agency GCHQ to use a DDoS, while arresting Anonymous activists who do the same. “The law”, she writes, “is not equally applied.” But then governments often do things that citizens cannot.

Coleman does well to avoid the jargon and technical language that often characterises books about the net, although her account lacks the journalistic fizz of Parmy Olson’s We Are Anonymous (2012), and includes awkward turns of phrase. There is a clunky description of Anonymous as “meshed together by wires, transistors, and Wi-Fi signals – replete with miles of tubes pumping blood … the analogue of these fabulously grotesque and chaotically precise systems that, if picked apart, become what we call people”. And she makes the peculiar suggestion that “members of the public discovered their jaws dropping lower and lower by the day, as if they were strapped into some orthodontic-transparency device, hand cranked by Julian Assange himself”.

For all that, this is a worthwhile and enjoyable examination of an often mysterious group, written by a genuine expert. In the end Coleman succeeds in her chief aim: to show that Anonymous are neither criminals nor bored teenagers, but are driven on the whole by political motivations which are for the most part thoughtful, considered and courageous. She reveals the group to be far more interesting and morally nuanced than is often believed, using digital tools and tactics to tilt rights and freedoms away from companies and governments and towards people.

For much of 2014, Anonymous seemed to have gone quiet. But, as Coleman’s book demonstrates, it is a reactive, unpredictable and dynamic movement. Last week, it surged back into action: after the Ku Klux Klan threatened to use lethal force in Ferguson, Missouri following riots there, Anonymous declared cyber war on the group. They hacked the KKK’s Twitter account and attacked servers that hosted its sites; they even started to release the personal details of KKK members. As usual, it was part joke, part principled; part justified, part irresponsible. A movement for our times.

Anonymous hackers to Ferguson police: ‘We are the law now’

Hackers with the group, Anonymous, sent a stark message to police in Ferguson, as well as to Ku Klux Klan members assembled at the scene, to be on guard — that any injuries to protesters will be duly noted.

“To the KKK and police: kkk-in-new-video-we-are-the-law-now/” target=”_blank”>Be peaceful or you will fee the consequences,” the hacking group said in a video reported by The Free Thought Project. “To the protesters: Do not be afraid. We are here for you and will protect and serve you. We are the law now.”

The video was actually a response to one sent out by Frank Ancona with the Traditionalist American Knights of the KKK that vowed to “hunt down” members of Anonymous, Raw Story reported.

In that video, the KKK warned the hackers: “You’ll be strung up next to the chimps. On display for the whole world to see. The Klan is to be feared, not threatened. Turn away or face the consequences.”

Anonymous and the KKK have been engaged in a public battle for some time. The hacking group took over the Klan’s Twitter account just recently, and revealed the names and addresses of KKK members living near Ferguson.

The hackers’ video then suggested the KKK refrain from aiding police with crowd control in Ferguson.

“If you attempt to aid the police, just know that there are more of us out there than there are of you,” the group said in its video, Raw Story reported. “But you will not know who we are. We are everywhere. We are among the protesters, and we are among you.”

EXCLUSIVE: Battle of Ferguson II: An Inside Look at #OpKKK

quote:

The war between Anonymous and the Ku Klux Klan over the rights of protesters in Ferguson has been raging. The war involves a faction of Anonymous that has been in existence for years, but has remained a closely guarded secret. It also involves a factionalized hate group that has been unsuccessfully trying to rebrand itself as a kinder, gentler version of the KKK.

quote:

For its part the Klan has engaged in a major campaign of disinformation, or maybe it’s just that one faction has no idea what the other factions are doing. An alleged phone call between Missouri Klan leader Frank Ancona and Anonymous activist Alex Poucher seems to indicate that his faction of the Klan actually want to help the protesters with their legal troubles. Ancona even offered to give the protesters access to Klan lawyers.

[Audio op de site]

Of course, it’s hard to believe a word that comes out of Ancona’s mouth when he is the same Klansmen that checked-in on Facebook from the Ferguson Police Department with the comment:

. “I was going to tie a watermelon to the back of my SUV and lead them [the protesters] all south.

If you listened to the recording, you’ll hear Ancona indicate that the Klan really isn’t racist.

Other Klansmen have condemned Ancona, but the website is probably still #TangoDown due to Anonymous operations.

quote:

NOWsec was formed around the time of Oscar Grant’s murder. That was more than five years ago. The Anti-Media talked to one of the reclusive activists through an encrypted chat. It was the first time an activist connected to NOWsec spoke with the press about the faction.

The activist, who is identified only as “Kafir,” was hesitant to answer questions about the size and strength of NOWsec.

. “The amount of Anons in NOWsec is confidential. It’s made up of both local and non local Anons.” [local meaning activists in Ferguson]

Estimates about the size and strength vary greatly, but most place the group’s core membership in the range of 40 to 120.

When asked about the comments made by Ancona in regards to helping the protesters, the doubt was crystal clear.

. “Ancona is trying to do damage control. The offer is not genuine.”

quote:

An employee with access to the St. Louis County Police Department (who also happens to be a NOWsec sympathizer) is aware of NOWsec’s operations and believes officers are worried.

. “There have been discussions about it. They aren’t happy.”

The employee provided a list of names that will be turned over to NOWsec for examination and comparison.

Cleveland city website attacked after 12-year-old boy shot by police; Anonymous takes credit

quote:

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The so-called "hacktivist" group Anonymous has taken credit for shutting down the city of Cleveland's website after a city police officer shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice, whom police believed to be armed.

The manager of the city's server called police about 3:30 a.m. Monday to report the website was "under attack," according to police and city officials. A short time later, the city's website went down and is still unaccessible.

Anonymous is taking credit for the attack, claiming it's in response to the police shooting Tamir, who was carrying a BB gun in a park outside Cudell Recreation Center.

Police said they were responding to reports of a "male with a gun threatening," and Tamir did not follow orders from the officers to keep his hands up. Instead, police said, he lifted his shirt and removed the gun from his waistband, and the officer fired two shots. At least one hit Tamir in the stomach, and he later died at MetroHealth Medical Center.

In a video message posted on YouTube, Anonymous charges that an "untrained rookie officer" shot Tamir "in cold blood," and asks why the officer did not Taser the child.

Father claims police covered up son’s murder by Westminster paedophile ring

Vishambar Mehrotra, whose eight-year-old son was killed in 1981, says police ignored tipoff from male prostitute

The father of a murdered boy has claimed that his son may have died at the hands of a Westminster paedophile ring and said Scotland Yard helped cover up the crime.

Vishambar Mehrotra, a retired magistrate whose eight-year-old son Vishal was killed in 1981, said he was contacted by a male prostitute at the time who said the boy may have been abducted and murdered by “highly placed” paedophiles linked to a now notorious guesthouse.

Mehrotra told the Telegraph that the prostitute alleged that judges and politicians were involved in a child abuse ring – but when he took a recording of the call to the police they did nothing about it.

The claims are the latest concerning an alleged establishment paedophile ring in Westminster in the 1970s and 80s.

Scotland Yard, which has launched two linked investigations into the child abuse ring allegations, declined to comment on the latest claims.

Mehrotra’s son Vishal was abducted as he walked home to Putney after watching the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer ride to their wedding in a carriage on 29 July 1981.

He had gone ahead of other family members for the last few hundred yards. He was last seen less than a mile from the guesthouse.

Mehrotra told the Telegraph that a few months after his son’s disappearance he received an anonymous call from a male prostitute.

“I was contacted by a young man who seemed to be in his 20s. He told me he believed Vishal may have been taken by paedophiles in the Elm Guest House near Barnes Common. He said there were very highly placed people there. He talked about judges and politicians who were abusing little boys,” he said.

Mehrotra, a solicitor who was a JP at Wimbledon magistrates court until retiring in 2006, claims the man said he had already informed police about activities at the guesthouse, but had received no response.

He added: “I recorded the whole 15-minute conversation and took it to police. But instead of investigating it, they just pooh-poohed it and I never heard anything about the tape again. The whole thing went cold.

“At that time I trusted the police. But when nothing happened, I became confused and concerned. Now it is clear to me that there has been a huge cover-up. There is no doubt in my mind.”

Part of Vishal’s body was found in woodland in West Sussex in February 1982, seven months after he disappeared. There was no trace of his legs, pelvis or lower spine or of his outer clothes or Superman underwear.

Four months after Vishal’s remains were found, police raided the Elm Guest House and questioned dozens of men, reportedly including at least 30 prominent public figures and businessmen.

Mehrotra said: “This guesthouse was right next to where Vishal disappeared. There were predatory people there who were taking young boys and abusing them. It seems to me that it all adds up, so I can’t understand why the police have again failed to get in contact with me. I think the revelations of [Jimmy] Savile and others in recent months have opened up a Pandora’s box. Hopefully everything will all come out soon.”

The police raid was reported at the time to be linked to the disappearance of another boy, Martin Allen, 15, who went missing on Guy Fawkes Night 1979 and whose body has never been found.

Martin’s brother Kevin Allen, 51, told the Telegraph that police should reopen the investigation into the teenager’s disappearance and that he had always suspected a cover-up.

Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, said the case needed to be investigated. “It is absolutely shocking that survivors of child abuse were not listened to,” he said on LBC radio. “You cannot think of more serious or grotesque allegations. It clearly needs to be looked into.”

He said more broadly: “We are at early stage of a reckoning with our past that is on a scale and gravity that just a few months ago might have seemed unimaginable and almost too horrific to contemplate. The task is to peel back the layers of deception that appear to have happened in the past.”

Anonymous posts KKK leader’s personal data online in ongoing war over Ferguson

quote:

Hacktivists aligned with the Anonymous movement have published credit card numbers and other personal information allegedly belonging to a leading Ku Klux Klan member amidst a grudge between the groups fueled by recent protests in Ferguson, Missouri.

Members of the loose-knit hacktivist collective have taken aim at the Klan in recent weeks after the KKK threatened to use lethal force against demonstrations descending on Ferguson to protest the August 9 killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by local police officer Darren Wilson. The feud between the groups has only escalated in the days since, though, and now Anons are circulating what they claim to be sensitive details about a powerful Klansman and his family.

Through a Twitter account formerly associated with the KKK but compromised by Anons earlier this month, hacktivists posted on Wednesday this week a trove of data purported to pertain to Frank Ancona, the self-described Imperial Wizard of the Missouri-based Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

“We'll just leave this here,” Anons tweeted through the @KuKluxKlanUSA account, along with links to two documents containing data alleged to be Ancona’s home address, Social Security number, credit card details, social media profiles, tax records and information on his family.

Protesters using tech to run rings around cops

Tech-savvy anarchists ran rings around the NYPD during last week’s Ferguson-related protests — and cops are now on edge over what the renegades may be able to pull off after a ruling in the Eric Garner case.

The NYPD is “very concerned, more because of recent events,” a law enforcement source said.

Last week, activists armed with untraceable “burner phones” used social media and online bulletin boards to stay one step ahead of city cops and create mayhem after a grand jury cleared Officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

The anarchists clearly won the game of “Whac-A-Mole’’ — shutting down major roads including the FDR Drive, Lincoln Tunnel and West Side Highway and frustrating the NYPD, sources said.

“They wore me out,” said one counterterror expert who monitored the protests. “Their ability to strategize on the fly is something we haven’t dealt with before to this degree.”

While the NYPD actively monitors Twitter, Facebook and other social media for intelligence, sources said the official chain of command keeps squadrons of cops from moving around as quickly as protesters.

A “technology gap” also favors the activists, many of whom have the newest electronic gear, sources said.

“A lot of these anarchists are from the Occupy Wall Street group. They are little rich kids, little techie brats,’’ a source said.

“They get their money from Mommy and Daddy. And they travel from the West Coast to the East Coast and everywhere in between to disrupt events that involve corporate America, world summits, civil rights and especially those that involve law enforcement.”

“They have their little MacBook Air computers, their Wi-Fi, their smartphones, and they’re off to the races. We’re reacting to these situations, which means we are not fully in control of them,” the source said.

Authorities suspect “a few hundred” of the estimated 4,000 protesters who took to New York City’s streets after the Ferguson decision used their knack for mobile technology to send out real-time advisories on where cops were located and where they were headed.

“They were giving instantaneous commands to their followers, and this enabled them to stay one step ahead of us,” a source noted.

As a result, cops were left to race around the city to try to stem the disruptions.

The developments now have cops “very worried” about the upcoming ruling by a grand jury investigating Garner’s death, sources said.

The Staten Island dad died in August after being put in a police chokehold while being busted for allegedly peddling loose cigarettes.

NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo — who was recorded putting Garner into the chokehold — testified before the panel Nov. 21, and a ruling on whether to indict him could be announced as soon as Monday.

“We’re expecting strong reaction and demonstrations when the decision comes down,” one source said.

Another source said: “The cops on standby will be in riot gear. That means helmets and sticks.”

Since the success of Twitter and Facebook in fueling the Arab Spring uprisings that toppled regimes in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, US activists have increasingly used the Web to organize and mobilize protests.

Last week, hundreds of tweets directed protesters to Union Square to await the Ferguson ruling.

After the verdict, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton was splattered with fake blood, allegedly by “professional agitator’’ Diego Ibañez, 26.

Plans to disrupt the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade included the Twitter hashtag #StopTheParade.

And activist Ben Norton — busted in July during a protest in DC with the CODEPINK anti-war group — tweeted out a parade map.

“This is the route,” he wrote. “Be the change you want to see in the world. Make history. #IndictTheSystem.”

KKK membership sinks 2 Florida cops

Echoing the once-segregated South, a Florida deputy police chief has resigned and an officer has been fired after the FBI reported that both belonged to the Ku Klux Klan

Fruitland Park Deputy Chief David Borst has denied involvement with the notorious white-hooded hate group that emerged after the Civil War and continued to terrorize and murder blacks through the mid-20th century.

The 49-year-old Borst, a department veteran of more than 20 years, was also fire chief for the Lake County city of 5,000, about 40 miles northwest of Orlando. He resigned both posts Thursday after being confronted with the FBI report.

Officer George Hunnewell, who was demoted last year over performance and attitude complaints, was fired Friday by Chief Terry Isaacs.

The state attorney's office is reviewing every arrest made by the officers and giving particular scrutiny to cases involving minorities, Isaacs said.

It the second time in five years that Klansmen have been found in the Fruitland Park Police Department. In 2009, Officer James Elkins resigned after photographs showed him in a white robe and pointy hood, and he later admitted he was a leader of the local KKK.

In the current cases, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement gave Isaacs a summary of an FBI investigation based on information from a confidential source who linked both officers to the Klan. No criminal wrongdoing was found, and the FBI said no other officers were linked to the white supremacists.

Chief Deputy State Attorney Ric Ridgway, whom Isaac contacted for advice, told the Orlando Sentinel that the report contained "a lot of fairly substantial evidence that tends to support" Borst's and Hunnewell's Klan membership.

But he pointed out that it's not illegal to belong to the KKK "even if you are the deputy chief."

"It's not a crime to hate people. It may be despicable, it may be immoral, but it's not a crime," he said.

Because of that, Fruitland Park officials had to decide whether Borst and Hunnewell had violated city standards and ethics.

"We cannot nor will we tolerate any philosophy that is inherently morally corrupt or one that espouses bigotry or any intolerance aimed at any groups or individuals because of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender or sexual orientation," said City Manager Gary La Venia.

Isaacs initially told the Orlando Sentinel on Friday that Borst was resigning for "personal family issues," and he would not address the Klan allegations.

"We are here, we are in place, and I want the public to know this type of conduct will not even be remotely tolerated," Isaacs told News 13.
