White supremacist organization hacked by Anonymous

A recent CBC report revealed that hacktivist group Anonymous has taken strike at a neo-Nazi group by hacking their system and leaking the information of many white supremacists onto the internet in an attempt to expose their hate movements. Dozens of these alleged neo-Nazis are from Canada.

According to the report, European members of the loose knit group Anonymous were able to get into the blogs, secret websites, and emails of the white supremacist groups Volksfront and Blood and Honour. The hacktivist group was also able to find photographs of a meeting in Missouri, confidential legal documents, and pictures of Hitler tattoos.

Anonymous initially posted information from their findings on a website called nazi-leaks.net, but it has been taken off.

“We can now begin to piece together a more accurate picture in terms of the distribution of these types of racist groups across Canada,” Helmut-Harry Loewen, a University of Winnipeg sociology professor and a member of the Canadian Anti-racism Education and Research Society told CBC News.

In December, the white supremacist group Blood and Honour was brought to light when three of their members were arrested in B.C. when they, in different occasions, assaulted 5 different minorities.

One of the cases which gained the most attention occurred when two Blood and Honour members, Alistair Miller and Robertson De Chazal, allegedly lit a Filipino man on fire when they came across him one night sleeping on a sofa on the street.

Loewen says that these white supremacist organizations “are going to have to be even more careful in terms of who they trust, who they associate with.

“They're going to have to look over their shoulders. The police will have access to this info once it becomes more widespread. Employers, neighbours and so on.”
