Anonymous Group Creating a competitor Wikileaks

The hacker group of Anonymous traffic is preparing to launch a new service for publishing information leaks that will replace the Wikileaks website. This, according to infox.ru , one of the participants in the movement told Radio Voice of Russia. The link to an interview was published in the @Youranonnews microblog, which collected more than 640 thousand users. The new project will be launched on December 21 of this year.

The representative said that the project with the working name Tyler is a free encryption program that transfers data on the decentralized P2P protocol. In P2P, each of the computers is a server and a client. In terms of security, the service is similar to Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Such a system is not disconnected and is not subjected to attack.

The dissatisfaction with the WikiLeaks website appeared in Anonymous in October of this year at the time when the resource decided to hang out the banner with a request to sacrifice money. The banner closed some materials and hackers accused the resource of betraying the ideals of freedom of information and refused to support the site.

Disagreements in the understanding of the mission and goals of the project were also discovered. More precisely, the self -love of Assange - this is how the hackers dubbed the recent behavior of the famous compromise. In contacting the network community on the Pastebin.com website, hackers wrote that the Assange project led exclusively from selfishness and for the sake of self -love.

Later, Julian Assange answered the movement that it is not necessary to pay users to get access to the materials - you just need to publish a link in the social networks using the buttons given on the banner.

Hackers from Anonymous became widely known at the end of 2010, when the group members organized a series of DDOS attacks on the sites of companies and organizations that counteract WikiLeaks. Among the attacked were PayPal, Visa and Mastersard sites.

Later, the targets of the group, which, according to some reports, had already merged with hackers from another similar group, called Lulz Security, also became the sites of Sony, Nintendo, PBS, the US Senate website, government sites of Brazil, Mexico, Italy and other resources. The protests of hacktivists are mainly related to issues of freedom of speech and the non -control of the World Wide Web.

Last summer, representatives of Lulz Security stole more than a million users of the Sonypictures.com site, and it also became known about attacks on the FBI unit, on the internal network of the US Senate, on the CIA sites and the British agency to combat organized crime.

In May 2012, anonymous avengers hacked the server of the Bureau of Legal Statistics under the Ministry of Justice of the United States, which stores files containing data on the collection and analysis of information about crimes, including in the computer sector.

Anonymous, Lulz Security and other similar groups are part of an extensive and at the same time scattered international network of online activists who call themselves an Internet assembly, or community. It is difficult to judge the relics of Anonymous to reliably, due to the distribution and inconsistent composition of the participants.

It is definitely not even known whether this is a group or several. Nevertheless, according to the large American Internet provider and Verizon cellular operator, in 2011, 58% of the personal information of the company's users was compromised due to Anonymous's fault.
