| Description | On Monday, members of the hacktivist group Anonymous claimed to have compiled a list of Twitter users who are part of pedophile ring, listing the account names in Pastebin.
The operation, given the hashtag #twitterpedoring, appeared to be the work of a small group of hackers who uncovered the accounts and then reached out to media outlets, federal authorities, and U.S. elected representatives to have the accounts investigated.
The information posted to Pastebin lists about 84 account names. A number of those accounts already appeared to have been suspended.
And in an unusual move, a Rhode Island elected official agreed to help the controversial activist group bust up the alleged lawbreakers. |
