The #OpKKK hacker campaign to shut down hate sites has been going on since at least November 2014, but ran into problems in October 2015. MirrorUK reported that hackers with Anonymous had published the names of 1,000 alleged KKK members. A rogue former member of Anonymous, however, added additional names to the list who were innocent—including some politicians.
The hackers recently restarted the campaign, and while they are again looking to name and shame KKK members, they plan on doing so with a higher level of scrutiny.
“We’ve done a good job as a country making the KKK retreat into the shadows and not standing for the lynchings of yesterday,” Zombie Ghost said. “But, we must be vigilant. The shadows only stay at bay when the light of truth is bright.”
