The online hacktivist group Anonymous has followed through on its promise to disclose the identities of hundreds of Ku Klux Klan members.
On Monday, Anonymous vowed to release the full info dump of about 1,000 alleged Ku Klux Klan members with a chosen date of 5th of this November.
As promised, Anonymous posted a link to a Pastebin
account with the names, aliases, Google Plus profiles, Facebook
accounts and other identifying information of roughly 1,000 individuals
the group believes are members of the Ku Klux Klan.
The hackers behind the leak tweeted a link to a Pastebin on a Twitter account, Operation KKK (@Operation_KKK) believed to be controlled by them.
Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is classified as a White Supremacist Racist
group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center,
allegedly having total 5,000 to 8,000 members.
"We hope Operation KKK will, in part, spark a bit of constructive
dialogue about race, racism, racial terror and freedom of expression,
across group lines. Public discourse about these topics can be honest,
messy, snarky, offensive, humbling, infuriating, productive, and serious
all at once," Anonymous wrote in the Pastebin post. "The reality is that racism usually does NOT wear a hood, but it does
permeate our culture on every level. Part of the reason we have taken
the hoods off of these individuals is not because of their identities,
but because of what their hoods symbolize to us in our broader society."
Anonymous also notes that the group collected the information of KKK
members over 11 months through public documents, "digital espionage,"
interviews with experts and information from social media accounts of
KKK affiliates.
However, the group has not published any personal information about the KKK members.

In a move sure to attract attention from the music industry, a small
group of coders claiming to be part of Anonymous is putting together a
social music platform. The rather ambitious goal: Create a service that
seamlessly pulls up songs streaming from all around the internet. The project, called Anontune
and still in its infancy, is designed to pull songs from third-party
sources like YouTube and let anonymous users put them into playlists and
share them — while keeping the service from being shut down by music
industry lawsuits. Reached by e-mail, one of the creators of Anontune told Wired the
project was started by a group of anons who met online six years ago on
what was then an underground hacking site. The group, mostly focused at
the time on “cracking,” began discussing music, favorite artists and
what they would do to fix current music business models. “We would say stuff like, ‘People really use YouTube as a music
player yet it really sucks for that purpose … it’s too unorganized,’”
the anon wrote to Wired. “And then, ‘YouTube does make a good music
player but you can’t play all your songs on it since the obscure ones
aren’t uploaded,’ then eventually, ‘Hmmm, what if you were to combine
music websites like Myspace, Yahoo, YouTube and others?’” On the ever-sprawling internet, music can pop up anywhere — Tumblr pages, blogs, The Hype Machine
(to name but a few). Almost any song is available at any time, whether
posted by legitimate sources or uploaded by fans or pirates, and
Anontune would tap into that rich reservoir. It wouldn’t be the first time Anonymous squared off with the record
industry: When popular file-sharing site Megaupload was shuttered by the
Justice Department in January, Anonymous retaliated by attacking the
websites of the Recording Industry Association of America and the DoJ.
The DDoS attacks provide an undeniable look at what Anonymous can do in a
copyfight, but if the creators of Anontune succeed, they could make
something far more disruptive to the music industry. The Anontune concept remained nothing more than talk until one day in
early December, when an anon posted a link to Anontune and said he
planned to make their ideas a reality. The others looked at the site.
Although it wasn’t very good, the working prototype got enough people
interested in the project that they “formed a team that day and stopped
hacking,” the anon said. The platform has been in development for just a few months, according
to the video above (titled “Message From Anonymous: Music Has
Changed”). Although Anontune is still very rudimentary, the service is
meant to improve the way music is played online. “It has come to our attention that the state of online music has been
sabotaged by the fat hands of corporate involvement,” the Anontune
video’s voiceover states. “These changes have led to a world in which
your enjoyment of music is controlled and billed by the minute.”
Anontune pulls in music from various sources around the web. Screengrab: Wired
How Anontune Works (And a Word of Caution)
Anontune works by automating what most people do online manually.
After setting up an account, users can build playlists by simply typing
in the names of songs they want to hear, or they can choose from the
names of songs imported from their iPods.
Anontune’s “music engine” — which runs in a user’s browser — then finds
the songs on the web. Currently most of the tracks come from YouTube
and SoundCloud, but there are plans in the works to add Yahoo Music,
Myspace Music, Bandcamp and others. From there, users, of which there
are currently fewer than 1,000, just press play. (A word of caution to curious readers: The system relies on executing
a Java applet. Unless you are extremely trusting or using VMWare, you
should think very carefully about running code on your machine that was
written by members of Anonymous.) The stated central aims of the service’s creators are to provide a
flexible, open platform for users to listen to music without having to
pirate it or face legal repercussions — read Anontune’s white paper here (.pdf). True to form, users of the service can largely remain anonymous. Although the site is still very crude and its origins obscure, the
idea of Anonymous — even a few far-flung members of the group — tackling
online music is compelling. But Anontune could come into the world with
a target on its back, even if it operates using completely legitimate
methods, according to Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Corynne
McSherry. “What we’re seeing here is a situation where the government is
getting much more involved in enforcement, and we know that the U.S.
government doesn’t like Anonymous all that much anyway,” McSherry said
in an interview with Wired. Other music services can attempt to cut
deals with music labels to avoid legal hot water, but that’s not really
an option here. “I think content owners, if they feel like the site is a really
viable site, they’re going to be pretty nervous [about this],” McSherry
said. “Because they like to have people that they can make deals with,
and there’s no one to make a deal with in this situation.” It’s hard not to notice that Anontune is popping up just as the U.S.
government’s case against Megaupload is getting heated. Even though
Anontune’s creators say the service isn’t a rebuttal to the shuttering
of the file-sharing service, its timely unveiling could serve as a model
for a different way for Anonymous to respond to incidents (as opposed
to, say, directing Low Orbit Ion Cannons at the website of the Recording Industry Association of America). “The project is not so much a response to Megaupload but a response
to the tycoons from the RIAA shutting down music services,” the anon
wrote to Wired. “You may have heard about what Anonymous has done in Operation Payback.
We believe the underlying reasons for the revolt were (mostly) correct,
however their approach is unlikely to change anything in the long run.” When asked about Anontune by Wired, an RIAA spokesman declined to comment. Anontune’s creators hope that in its complete version — it’s only
about 20 percent there so far, our source said — the service can improve
the way people engage with music. “We have a lot of plans regarding this,” the Anontune co-creator told
Wired. “The development of software to assist in achieving musical peak
experiences, illumination of the functions and roles of music,
psychometric testing based on music preference. It’s all there and this
is possibly the most interesting part of the whole project.” Anontune’s technical aspects can be reviewed online,
and the site’s operators are taking donations. Even though its creators
are still hurriedly trying to get the service up to snuff, the site has
massive goals. One only needs to look at the final note on the above
clip’s YouTube page to get a taste. “We need to think bigger,” it reads. “This is Operation Mozart.”
Anonymous Just Deleted CBS.com and Took Down Universal
Taking a shorter break
than their last vacation, Anonymous is back at it already. Reports are
coming in that they had completely knocked out CBS.com and are
continuing their revenge spree. The CBS takedown wasn't your regular
DDoS attack because if you went to CBS.com at the time Anon attacked it,
there was nothing except an index page with a single file. That's it. Basically, Anonymous gained access to CBS.com and deleted EVERYTHING.
CBS.com
CBS.com has managed to put itself back up but we'll be on the lookout of Anonymous' next move. This is going to be interesting. Last time Anon went on a revenge spree, well, the DOJ, RIAA, MPAA, Universal, EMI, FBI and others all got a piece of the takedown fun.
Update: Looks like they just took down UniversalMusic.com again too!
Update 2: Anon is now going after websites in Brazil. The Hacker News reports that websites of Brazil's federal district, the city of Tangara da Serra and popular Brazilian singer Paula Fernandes have been brought offline in a DDoS attack. Anonymous' message on the affected websites? "If Megaupload is down, you are down too."
Update 3: Vivendi, a French media company involved in music,
film, TV, video games, etc., has been brought down too. Vivendi used to
own Universal. More stories at http://gizmodo.com
MCLEAN, Amerika Syarikat (AS) - Salah sebuah laman perkongsian fail yang popular di dunia, Megaupload.com telah ditutup. Pengasas laman itu dan beberapa pegawai syarikat laman berkenaan

Megaupload shutdown raises new Internet-sharing fears
The Justice Department’s shutdown of the popular file-sharing site Megaupload.com reverberated across the Internet on Friday, sparking fresh questions for major Web companies while rattling millions of users of sites like it. Although federal authorities said Megaupload.com was part of an international criminal ring, the practice of providing digital “lockers” so people can store and share their photos, movies, songs and the rest of their digital lives is very common. Sites such as Facebook, Dropbox, YouTube and YouSendIt can be used to swap both legitimate and pirated content.
Megaupload allegedly took the practice to a new level of criminality.
Federal prosecutors said the firm paid users to upload illegal movies
and music and tried to hide the practice. The investigators said its
executives used their ill-gotten gain for a lavish lifestyle, adding
that they confiscated dozens of luxury autos, including a Rolls-Royce
with the plate “GOD” owned by site founder Kim Schmitz, who also goes by
the name Kim Dotcom. Read More @ www.washingtonpost.com
Megaupload Shutdown Inspires Hack Attack
Anonymous takes down websites for Department of Justice, Universal Music Group.
By
Gil Kaufman.
Shortly after federal officials took action against the file-sharing Megaupload site on Thursday, the hacktivist group Anonymous launched a series of online actions to protest the shutdown.
In what experts are calling the largest series of hack attacks in
history, the faceless global organization of Internet activists claimed
responsibility for taking down the websites of the U.S. Department of
Justice and the world's biggest record label, Universal Music Group,
along with the sites for the Recording Industry Association of America,
the Motion Picture Association of America, the U.S. Copyright Office and
the Utah Chiefs of Police Association. The organization also threatened
a similar action against the FBI's website.
At press time, the Universal and Utah Chiefs sites appeared to
still be down, while the others had restored service. The MPAA issued a statement
on Thursday about the hack. "Our website and many others, including the
Department of Justice, were attacked today and the hacker group
Anonymous is claiming responsibility for the attacks," it read. "We are
working with law enforcement authorities to identify those responsible.
Unfortunately, some groups believe that speech or ideas that they
disagree with should be silenced. This could not be more wrong. No
matter the point of view, everyone has a right to be heard. The motion
picture and television industry has always been a strong supporter of
free speech. We strongly condemn any attempts to silence any groups or
individuals ... protecting copyrights and protecting free speech go hand
in hand."

Saudara-saudara dan adik-beradik. Sekarang adalah masa untuk membuka mata anda!
Dalam usaha yang menakjubkan yang telah libertarian sivil yang gagap dengan kekufuran, Senat AS telah meluluskan rang undang-undang yang berkesan berakhir Rang Undang-Undang Hak Asasi di Amerika.
Akta Kebenaran Pertahanan Nasional telah dipanggil perbuatan yang paling khianat yang pernah disaksikan di Senat, dan bahasa rang undang-undang itu adalah bijak untuk membuat anda berfikir ia tidak terpakai kepada rakyat Amerika, tetapi ke arah akhir rang undang-undang itu, ia pada dasarnya mengatakan ia boleh memohon kepada rakyat Amerika "jika kita mahu.
Ringkasan Rang Undang-Undang & Status, 112 Kongres (2011 - 2012) | S.1867 | Latest Title: Akta bagi Kebenaran Pertahanan Nasional.
Rang undang-undang ini, lulus lewat malam tadi dalam undi 93-7, mengisytiharkan seluruh Amerika Syarikat untuk menjadi "medan pertempuran" apabila pasukan tentera Amerika yang boleh beroperasi dengan sewenang-wenangnya, mengatasi Comitatus Posse dan pemberian kuasa dengan tidak tentera untuk menangkap, menahan, menyoal siasat dan malah membunuh rakyat Amerika Syarikat dengan sewenang-wenangnya.
Majalah Malah berwayar adalah marah pada rang undang-undang ini, melaporkan:
Senat Mahu Tentera Kunci Anda Sehingga Tanpa Percubaan
... Mandat tahanan untuk menggunakan tahanan tentera yang tidak terhingga dalam kes-kes keganasan tidak terhad kepada orang asing. Ia mengelirukan, kerana dua bahagian yang berlainan dalam rang undang-undang tersebut seolah-olah bercanggah antara satu sama lain, tetapi dalam penghakiman University of Texas 'Robert Chesney - pihak berkuasa nonpartisan ke atas penahanan tentera - ". Warganegara Amerika Syarikat termasuk dalam pemberian pihak berkuasa tahanan"
Petikan undang-undang ini adalah tidak kurang daripada pengisytiharan secara terang-terangan PERANG terhadap Rakyat Amerika oleh kuasa elit tentera disambungkan. Jika ini ditandatangani ke dalam undang-undang, ia akan dicincang penyewa lain Rang Undang-Undang Hak dan melepaskan apabila Amerika jumlah pemerintahan diktator tentera, lengkap dengan tangkapan rahsia, penjara rahsia, soal siasat yang menyalahi undang-undang, detainment tidak terhingga tanpa pernah didakwa dengan jenayah, penderaan Amerika dan "pembunuhan sah" rakyat Amerika Syarikat di sini di tanah Amerika!
Jika anda mempunyai belum bangun dari tidur kepada realiti negara polis, kita telah memberi amaran kepada anda, saya berharap anda sedar kami cepat kehabisan masa. Apabila ini menjadi undang-undang, anda tiada hak apa-apa di Amerika. - Tidak ada proses, tiada ucapan hak Pindaan Pertama, tidak ada hak untuk berdiam diri, tiada apa-apa.
Senat Amerika Syarikat tidak mahu kita bercakap. Saya mengesyaki walaupun kini pesanan menjerit ke telefon dan lelaki dengan senapang tidak lama lagi akan dalam perjalanan mereka. Mengapa? Kerana manakala tongkat polis itu boleh digunakan sebagai ganti perbualan, perkataan akan sentiasa mengekalkan kuasa mereka. Perkataan menawarkan cara-cara untuk makna dan bagi orang-orang yang akan mendengar, pengumuman kebenaran. Dan kebenaran, ada sesuatu yang betul-betul kena dengan negara ini, tidak di sana?
Kekejaman dan ketidakadilan ... sikap tidak toleran serta penindasan. Dan di mana apabila anda mempunyai kebebasan untuk membantah, untuk berfikir dan berkata-kata seperti anda melihat patut, kini anda mempunyai penapis dan sistem pengawasan, memaksa pematuhan anda dan mendapatkan penyerahan anda. Bagaimana ini boleh terjadi? Siapa harus dipersalahkan? Well pasti terdapat orang-orang yang lebih bertanggungjawab daripada yang lain, dan mereka akan dipertanggungjawabkan. Tetapi sekali lagi, kebenaran diberitahu ... jika anda sedang mencari orang yang berdosa itu, anda perlu hanya melihat ke dalam cermin.
Saya tahu mengapa anda melakukannya. Saya tahu anda takut. Siapa yang tidak akan? Perang. Keganasan. Penyakit. Terdapat pelbagai masalah yang berpakat untuk merosakkan alasan anda dan merompak anda akal anda. Takut mendapat yang terbaik di antara kamu dan dalam keadaan panik anda, anda berpaling kepada Presiden kini di perintah Barack Obama. Beliau berjanji perintah anda. Beliau berjanji perdamaian kepada kamu. Dan dia menuntut sebagai balasan senyap anda, persetujuan yang taat.
Lebih daripada 400 tahun yang lalu, seorang warganegara yang besar mahu untuk memuatkan lima November selama-lamanya dalam ingatan kita. Harapan beliau ialah untuk mengingatkan dunia bahawa keadilan. Keadilan, dan kebebasan adalah lebih daripada kata-kata mereka perspektif. Maka jika anda melihat apa-apa, jika jenayah kerajaan ini masih tidak diketahui oleh anda, maka saya akan mencadangkan supaya anda memberi kelima November lulus tidak bertanda. Tetapi jika anda lihat apa yang saya lihat, jika anda merasa seperti yang saya rasa, dan jika anda akan mendapatkan seperti yang saya mencari ... maka saya meminta anda untuk berdiri di sebelah satu sama lain, satu tahun dari November ke 5, 2011, di luar pintu mahkamah tiap-tiap rumah setiap bandar menuntut hak kita!!
Bersama-sama kita berdiri menentang ketidakadilan Kerajaan kita sendiri.
Kami sudah.
Kami Legion.
United sebagai satu.
Terbahagi dengan sifar.
Kami tidak memaafkan Penapisan.
Kami tidak lupa Penindasan.
AS SENAT ...
Mengharapkan kita!!

Dear brothers and sisters. Now is the time to open your eyes!
In a stunning move that has civil libertarians stuttering with disbelief, the U.S. Senate has just passed a bill that effectively ends the Bill of Rights in America.
The National Defense Authorization Act is being called the most traitorous act ever witnessed in the Senate, and the language of the bill is cleverly designed to make you think it doesn't apply to Americans, but toward the end of the bill, it essentially says it can apply to Americans "if we want it to.
Bill Summary & Status, 112th Congress (2011 -- 2012) | S.1867 | Latest Title: National Defense Authorization Act for.
This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a "battleground" upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity.
Even WIRED magazine was outraged at this bill, reporting:
Senate Wants the Military to Lock You Up Without Trial
...the detention mandate to use indefinite military detention in terrorism cases isn't limited to foreigners. It's confusing, because two different sections of the bill seem to contradict each other, but in the judgment of the University of Texas' Robert Chesney — a nonpartisan authority on military detention — "U.S. citizens are included in the grant of detention authority."
The passage of this law is nothing less than an outright declaration of WAR against the American People by the military-connected power elite. If this is signed into law, it will shred the remaining tenants of the Bill of Rights and unleash upon America a total military dictatorship, complete with secret arrests, secret prisons, unlawful interrogations, indefinite detainment without ever being charged with a crime, the torture of Americans and even the "legitimate assassination" of U.S. citizens right here on American soil!
If you have not yet woken up to the reality of the police state we've been warning you about, I hope you realize we are fast running out of time. Once this becomes law, you have no rights whatsoever in America. — no due process, no First Amendment speech rights, no right to remain silent, nothing.
The US senate does not want us to speak. I suspect even now orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?
Cruelty and injustice...intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance, coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told...if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War. Terror. Disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now President in command Barack Obama. He promised you order. He promised you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
More than four hundred years ago, a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness. Justice, and freedom are more than words - they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek...then I ask you to stand beside one another, one year from November 5th, 2011, outside the gates of every court house of every city DEMANDING our rights!!
Together we stand against the injustice of our own Government.
We are anonymous.
We are Legion.
United as ONE.
Divided by zero.
We do not forgive Censorship.
We do not forget Oppression.
US SENATE...
Expect us!!
