Ever since members of the Ku Klux Klan threatened Ferguson protesters last year, hacktivist collective Anonymous has been promising to hack KKK websites and release the information they find to the public. As of a few minutes ago, that information has been officially released.



“We need to make room for important, blunt, honest, public, productive conversation. Violent bigotry IS a problem in the United States. This is not a colorblind society,” Anonymous’ #OpKKK organizers wrote in an official statement. “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.”


The five official Twitter accounts affiliated with Anonymous’ long-awaited #OpKKK/#HoodsOff operation have released names they claim are active members of the Ku Klux Klan. @operation_KKK, @encrypted_six, @anon6k, @anoninside, and @anonyopnews are the same accounts that disavowed Monday’s Pastebin dump by a lone wolf hacker unaffiliated with Anonymous, all of whom stated the only research they stand by is their own.



Since Tuesday, US Uncut has been in direct communication with one of the members of Anonymous behind #OpKKK, who says the names released today have been thoroughly vetted and independently verified. In an encrypted chat session, the Anonymous member explained that KKK members were identified via IP addresses that were obtained by hacking several official KKK websites.



Through geolocation, each IP address has been tied to an individual computer, which has a home address and a name affiliated with that address. Anonymous has also tied social media accounts to each of these IP addresses, some of which have left significant social media footprints. The Anonymous member said the IP addresses are verified, as a masked IP address is easily differentiated from an actual IP address — this means the individuals listed are real, active, participating members of the KKK and affiliated racist groups, according to Anonymous. Anonymous also obtained communication records of members by dumping the contents of KKK forum discussions and direct messages via social media.



Over the coming days, US Uncut will be analyzing the contents of the dump and publishing articles looking into individuals named, their conversations on social media and KKK forums, and other details as we find them.



To see all the details of #OpKKK, view the official dump here. #SharedSec, another #opKKK participant, also uploaded a list which we’ve linked to here.

Are any of these people Klan members on the low?

I mean thanks, Anonymous! I had no idea David Duke was a card carrying KKK member.

Oh wait.

I almost had a heart attack. There's a Crystal Gayle on one of those lists but it's not the 70's-80's country singer. That name totally jumped out at me because of the dreds thread.

So does this mean that the list of 1,000 politicians published a few days ago supposedly by anonymous was a hoax?

I read that Anonymous claims they didn't release that.
