PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish socialist hacking group RedHack has begun
to disclose the identities of police informants after academics and
journalists who supported the group were threatened, according to
Hurriyet Daily News.
The Ultra-nationalist hacking group "Akıncılar" (Raiders), who had
identified RedHack members as "traitors," released information on
academics and journalists who supported RedHack and threatened to
stage online attacks against them.
RedHack reacted to the disclosure by revealing the full identities of
a number of police informants which it had obtained over time. The
group sbegan uploading several .txt documents at half past midnight
today with the first file being 77 megabytes in size.
"Those who disclosed the identities of academics and journalists who
support us should receive the same treatment as us," RedHack said
with the information release.
A prosecutor had demanded RedHack be recognized as a "terrorist
organization" after the group hacked into Turkish Foreign Ministry
databases on July 3. RedHack had disclosed the identities of all
foreign diplomatic personnel working in Turkey in a bid to protest the
"Turkish government's meddling in Syria" and to "commemorate the 19th
anniversary of the Sivas Massacre."
Turkish authorities closed down RedHack's Twitter account after the
incident, which had more than 40,000 followers.
A blog page was opened by opponents of RedHack at
redhackgercekleri.blogspot.com, where academics and journalists
who supported the group were threatened. RedHack had announced they
would reveal the identities of police informants and the identities
of those who threatened their supporters in return.
