  7. I want to kind of alternate between events in hacker history and significant people, can’t promise it will be an exact one for one but that’s sort of the idea here. After Joseph Popp I think it will either be the second patriotic Chinese #hacktivist cyberwar or another #blog on the India Pakistan #hacker conflict.

  9. More than half-a-million people who bought access to #phonesurveillance and #socialmediasnooping apps had their email address and partial payment card numbers published online.

  13. "Following the release of the graphic novel and its 2005 film adaptation, this design came to represent broad protest, later also becoming a symbol for the online #hacktivist group '#Anonymous' after appearing in web forums, used in Project Chanology, the #Occupy movement, Anonymous for the Voiceless, and other #AntiEstablishment protests around the world. This has led to the mask also being known by the alternate name of the Anonymous mask.

    "The British comic book series #VForVendetta, which started in 1982, centers on a #vigilante's efforts to destroy an #authoritarian government in a #dystopian future United Kingdom. When developing the story, illustrator David Lloyd made a handwritten note on the intended #anarchist protagonist, V: 'Why don't we portray him as a resurrected Guy Fawkes, complete with one of those papier-mâché masks, in a cape and a conical hat? He'd look really bizarre and it would give #GuyFawkes the image he's deserved all these years. We shouldn't burn the chap every Nov. 5th but celebrate his attempt to blow up Parliament!' Writer Alan Moore commented that, due to Lloyd's idea, 'All of the various fragments in my head suddenly fell into place, united behind the single image of a Guy Fawkes mask.'

    "Moore also noted, 'how interesting it was that we should have taken up the image right at the point where it was apparently being purged from the annals of English iconography.' "

  18. We are incredibly proud to have assisted Europol 🇪🇺 in a global operation against the notorious pro-Russian #hacktivist group #NoName057(16) 🥳

    Over the years, NoName057(16) has carried out thousands of #DDoS attacks against websites of western organisations and national critical infrastructure 🏛️ , aiming to spread pro-Russian ideology 🇷🇺 and stir up distrust and uncertainty in the western hemisphere 🌎 😵‍💫

  19. It's probably a good idea to do another #introduction since people change over time, ideally.

    I'm haui. I help people & build things that help people. Big #foss enthusiast, #sysadmin by day and #hacktivist at night.

    I think all people (and animals) are born equal and should stay that way.

    I oppose #capitalism and embrace alternative systems. I dont care about #corporatedemocracy and manipulated "free speech".

    I want thirst, hunger and homelessness gone, for everyone, by any means necessary.
