#opKKK – The hacking collective Anonymous is denying involvement in the Monday leak of alleged Ku Klux Klan members that included several US senators.
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)
For any information about #OpKKK Anonymous invited to refer to the official .@Operation_KKK twitter account
