There was piece yesterday in The Hill [Cory Bennett and Katie Williams, Anonymous poised to unmask alleged KKK members] that will try to repair damage done by an erroneous list of KKK members circulated by someone claiming to represent Anonymous. Anonymous has to deal with this from time to time and it has caused them damage to their reputation, but they still do good things now and again. They were hacking Syria long before the war got to the point it is today and have done good work with ISIS recruiting on social media.
This time they will release 1000 names. Anonymous, according to a continuation of the story in today's The Hill, got started in racial issues after Furgeson and named the wrong police officer as the shooter. It caused them, and him, a lot of trouble. The article claims they are trying to recover from that with this current release. You can bet there will be some surprises there, just as there were in Ashley Madison. It gets increasingly hard to hide much of anything in a world where information about almost everyone is being stolen every day.
