#opKKK - The Anonymous group denies involvement in Monday's leak of alleged Ku Klux Klan members that included several US senators.
A few days ago the popular group of Anonymous posted a YouTube video and a Twitter message to announce that he possessed a list of Ku Klux Klan members.
The famous group announced their intentions for the operation dubbed #OpKKK and the reason why this operation was launched last year was the Ghoul Squad, a group considered to be an organization belonging to the Ku Klux Klan.
Unfortunately, other groups or individuals within the group misuse the name of the Anonymous to promote their own agendas and gain notoriety. As reported by the Register, the Anonymous group (PUTNAIOOACA) posted a message on Pastebin threatening members of the Ku Klux Klan.
“Θα αποκαλύψουμε περίπου 1000 ταυτότητες μελών της Κλαν.”, δήλωσε η Anonymous PUTNAIOOACA. “Εμείς δεν σας επιτιθέμεθα, εξαιτίας του τι πιστεύετε καθώς αγωνιζόμαστε για την ελευθερία του λόγου. Σας επιτιθέμεθα σας, γι’ αυτά που κάνετε στους αδελφούς και στις αδελφές μας.” “Μπλεχτήκατε με την οικογένειά μας και τώρα θα μπλεχτούμε με τη δικιά σας.”
But PUTNAIOOACA appears to be interested in revealing the identities of Ku Klux Klan members working in law enforcement-related positions, politicians, and any public official or government representative.
As promised in the past, someone posted on the internet a list of alleged Ku Klux Klan members that included several US Senators. The official account for @Operation_KKK walked away from the announcement and posted the following message.
The information released by other groups using the name of Anonymous, but are not members of #OpKKK. The Pastebin includes the phone numbers and email addresses allegedly belonging to KKKK members. The list contains the names of at least 4 Senators and 5 Mayors.
Apparently something went wrong and experts speculate that a part of the team went independent and wants to influence the @Operation_KKK effort. Other experts speculate that someone wants to use the name of Anonymous and #opKKK to launch a "name smear" campaign against prominent personalities.
