Hacker Group Anonymous Shut down Child Porns Server

Most internet user who's against on child pornography are rejoicing because Anonymous hacker group shut down the child porn site that's haven for paedophiles. One of the group advocacy now is that they will hunt and bring down all the sites that exposes innocent children in pornography and some are furious for the latest attack of Anonymous Group .

Anonymous became famous in 2008 after taking on the Church of Scientology over a leaked video of Tom Cruise promoting the belief which Anonymous members kept reposting to the Internet.

It has no leaders and anyone can suggest an individual or an organisation to target. 


Anonymous grew out of 4chan, a notorious message board for hackers from around the world.

'Hacktivist' group Anonymous has fired the first shot in what it claims will be a war against Internet child pornography.

The renegade hacking collective - which has been criticised by law enforcement agencies in the US and the UK - shut down the largest host of such illegal material on the Web. 
Anonymous has posted reactions from chat users said to be paedophiles furious at its actions, which include a British user who claims to have hosted a site which earned him £600 a day.
'What are the ****s that brought down Lolita City?' he said, 'My site is bankrolled by the Russian mob.'
In a statement issued on the internet, Anonymous said that it had warned Freedom Hosting to take the sites down but the company failed to do so.

Anonymous hackers then disabled its servers and would continue to do so until the material was removed.

The group claims at least 40 websites have been shut down, accounting for more than 100GB of content which depicts children being abused.

It also infiltrated the user database and has published the account details of 1,569 paedophiles online.

The attack is a change of tack for Anonymous which has previously attacked companies such as Mastercard, Visa, and Paypal in response to the card companies' refusal to process donations to Wikileaks.

Its latest operation began on October 14 and targeted child porn on the ‘darknet’ - anonymised sites designed to protect users' identities, which are invisible to normal web users. 

Anonymous hackers detected the links to the pornography and removed them but they were up again within five minutes.

They then discovered that 95% of the links were being hosted by Freedom Hosting and so shut down the firm’s servers.

Freedom Hosting switched to their backups but Anonymous closed them down again.
In an online statement Anonymous said that it was appalled by any the company for ‘openly supporting child pornography and enabling pedophiles to view innocent children, fueling their issues and putting children at risk of abduction, molestation, rape, and death’.
It read: ‘For this, Freedom Hosting has been declared #OpDarknet Enemy Number One...

‘...we will continue to not only crash Freedom Hosting's server, but any other server we find to contain, promote, or support child pornography.’

The operation was accompanied by the Twitter hashtag #OpDarknet to encourage other hackers to take part.

In a statement posted on YouTube, a computerised voice from Anonymous added: ‘Many of us have lingering traumatic images of the material that these pedophiles were hiding on the darknet.

‘Anonymous took a pledge to defend the defenseless and fight for the fallen…the darknet is a vast sea of many providers.

‘However, we fully intend to make it uninhabitable for these disgusting degenerates to exist.’
