A group of computer hacker activists called Anonymous have
announced that they will release the names of about 1000 Ku Klux Klan members
this coming week. An online battle started between Anonymous and the
KKK almost 1 year ago, during the Ferguson , Missouri
protests that happened when a Missouri KKK chapter threatened violence against
the people protesting that a grand jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson,
the officer who killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Some members of
Anonymous were part of the Ferguson
protests.

Twitter account, and got access to a network of members and associates of KKK
members. Anonymous took control of this Twitter account, and hit some sites
that were affiliated with the KKK with a "distributed denial of service"
attacks (DDoS). Anonymous is a group of hackers and online activists that
started around 2003. Some of its earlier targets have been the Its method of attacks have included revealing peoples online identities and also by shutting down websites. Usually the group supports protection of people's online privacy, but not in the case of some of its enemies, like the KKK. Anonymous has said it will reveal about 1000 clan member identities on the anniversary of the start of its battle with the KKK, which is sometime this month.
