Anonymous hacker causes dark web to shrink by as much as 85% |
Texte |
An attack by Anonymous, the shadowy hacker crew that seems to alternate between good guys and bad guys depending on the issue, help cut the dark web down by as much as 85 percent, according to a new report. Anonymous turned its sights on Freedom Hosting II, a hosting service for Tor-based sites, at the start of February. Freedom Hosting II (FHII) was the host to over 10,000 dark web sites, many of them hosting images of sexually abused children. It was named after another host, Freedom Hosting, that Anonymous took down in 2011. An Anonymous hacker went after the service after they discovered the provider knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it. The hacker who did it told Vice it was his first hack, and he didn't intend to take down the site-just look through it. When he found large amounts of child porn, he deduced the site knew what was going on and he decided to take down the hosts. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here |
